I refer to question on notice No. 1235, regarding the proportion of Aboriginal people who have been affected by evictions under the Disruptive Behaviour Management Strategy, and I ask, in answer to the question the Minister advised "Based on self-identification by the tenant, 66 per cent of these tenancies had Aboriginal people in the household." What is that percentage for the most recent available date?

Based on self-identification by the tenant, 51% of tenancies had Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people in the household.
