Homelessness

The Hon. I. PNEVMATIKOS (15:05): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Minister for Human Services regarding homelessness.

Leave granted.

The Hon. I. PNEVMATIKOS: Yesterday, when questioned about trying to try close a street kitchen for homeless people, the minister referred to funding to help women and children return to country. My questions to the minister are:

1. How exactly are women and children contributing to the alleged antisocial behaviour and violence in the Parklands?

2. What exactly will happen when that short-term project finishes in December, as the minister announced it would back in June?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:06): I can see what Labor are trying to portray here, which is drawing elements together in a misrepresentation of things that I have said. What I have been at pains to try to explain to them is that there are a number of cohorts who have been in Adelaide. The government has been trying to assist each of those cohorts with specific responses, including the ones that I mentioned yesterday. We are seeking to be nimble in our responses to address needs as they arise.
