QUESTION: REMOTE ABORIGINAL HOUSING

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:28): Final supplementary: has the minister had discussions with her Premier today in relation to remote Aboriginal housing and associated issues?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:28): I have not spoken to the Premier—I did speak to him in cabinet this morning, but not individually. We had time for our usual meeting, but I don't think I did have the opportunity to speak to him about it, but we are obviously very pleased that the funding has been made available. It is something we have all been very anxious to ensure that we were receiving. We are very pleased that, for the first time, the South Australian government has matched commonwealth funding, so this is something that should be celebrated.
