Homelessness

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:35): My question is to the Minister for Human Services regarding homelessness. Since the commencement of the new homelessness alliances, how many critical incident reports has the minister received from the homelessness system about sexual assault or death of people who use that system?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:35): I would need to check the record as to what is the actual number of any of the critical incidents. Most of the critical incidents I receive via the housing system relate to fires and the occasional stabbing within our public housing system, but I would need to double-check what data we have that has come from the homelessness system.
