Homelessness

The Hon. R.A. SIMMS (14:48): I thank the minister for her response. I note that the minister's reply in terms of the availability of the—

The PRESIDENT: Just a question, the Hon. Mr Simms.

The Hon. R.A. SIMMS: Sorry, Mr President. Can the minister give the undertaking that they will provide an update to this chamber on the number of public and private rentals available?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:48): I am not sure that we are able to provide any numbers about the number of private rentals. In fact, I think I have asked for that data from the Attorney-General, who is responsible for Consumer and Business Services—some of that data. I will ask whether there is any information available about private rental, but there are some firms such as CoreLogic, I understand, which monitor the overall percentage of vacancies both in capital cities and across the state, so that is publicly available information which is sort of a comparison.

In terms of the public system, we can try to get a point-in-time number for the honourable member, but there is also the community housing sector. I am not sure whether we have that data as well, but I will do my best to find it.
