With the current situation of approximately 55,000 people on the housing waiting list, would the Minister consider four or five unsupervised young people/teenagers house-sitting a three bedroom Department of Housing home to be inappropriate, and if not, why not?

The Department of Housing advises consideration would need to be given to the age of the unsupervised persons, and any other relevant circumstances, to determine if it is inappropriate.
If the Member has a specific case in question I would be more than happy to investigate further.
