Affordable Housing

The Hon. R.A. SIMMS (15:01): Supplementary: is the minister concerned to learn that we are less affordable than London and New York?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:01): I am aware of the survey. I think it was published last week in terms of housing affordability, that if I am remembering correctly is a function not just of the absolute price of housing but the percentage of income that is used for housing in different jurisdictions. Of course, that is why we are concentrating our efforts so closely on housing in South Australia.
