RESIDENTIAL TENANCIES ACT — AMENDMENTS
903. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the Minister for Commerce:
My question is entirely without notice. In response to a question
I asked earlier in the week, the minister mentioned a second tranche of changes
related to the Residential Tenancies Act. Could the minister please give the
house an indication of what changes to that act may be included as part of the
second tranche?

AnswerView source ↗

Consultation was done some time ago now, before I was the
responsible minister, and out of that, the decision was made to separate the
matters stakeholders had raised into two tranches. Work is being done now, and
I have not received advice on what will be in the second tranche. Stakeholders
have been advised that all the issues raised in the consultation that occurred
very early on that were not dealt with in our May announcement will be dealt
with in the second tranche. A range of things were canvassed in that. The
member would appreciate that I do not have a list of them in front of me now.
Work is being done. If the member wants to track it back before we meet again,
he would look at the consultation material that was put out, I am pretty sure,
on the Consumer Protection division website. He would then be able to see what
was divided off. The stakeholders are well aware of how things were separated.
I do not have a list here. I am waiting for the department to provide me advice
on what we will do in each of the matters.
