Public Housing, Antisocial Behaviour

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:59): Supplementary: can the minister, and he might need to take this on notice, provide some statistical data in relation to whether the number of orders has increased in recent years or not? I think he quoted an order every 3.9 minutes. Is that more or less than in the past?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (15:00): I am happy to take that on notice. Over the years that SACAT has been running—I think it's 10 years now that SACAT in South Australia has been running—I know from time to time decisions that this parliament makes adds areas to their jurisdiction. It's probably not an easy comparison to make from year to year, given that SACAT, with each new jurisdiction it takes on, may have areas that are more or less complicated and take more time. So with that caveat I will see if any statistics are available over time, but with the caveats about the different jurisdictions that SACAT inherits as time travels.
