Housing Safety Authority

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:23): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Minister for Human Services regarding housing.

Leave granted.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: The minister's agency issued a housing improvement order on 17 February about a meth-contaminated home in Mannum. The landlord subsequently admitted in writing that 'the premises have ceased to be lawfully usable for residential purposes'. My question to the minister is: given the landlord confirmed that the property can't be used for residential purposes, why hasn't the minister used her power of rent control so that this older couple don't pay rent for a home that they can't live in?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:24): I'm not sure whether the honourable member was actually listening to the exchange in relation to the first set of questions, but I think if she wants to inspect the Hansard then she might find that the answer to her question lies therein.
