Amended Answers to Oral Questions — Question No. 12 to Minister, 10 May
I seek leave to make a personal explanation to correct an answer I gave to a supplementary question during question No. 5 on 10 May 2016.
💬 Mr SPEAKER: Leave is sought for that course of action. Is there any objection? There is none.
In response to a supplementary question asked during question No. 5 on 10 May, I said in relation to the $41.1 million for emergency housing in Budget 2016 that “The new 3,000 places will be for anyone—individuals or families—who has a genuine need for emergency accommodation.” I should have said that the funding will be for 3,000 places, and that some of those will be new and some will go to the many emergency housing providers that require dedicated ongoing funding so that they can keep their doors open.
