I refer to the ''wait turn'' and priority public housing waitlists, noting that double counting is present in the potential response, and I ask: (a) how many applications were on the public housing waitlist at the end of April 2025, and how many individual applicants does that represent; and (b) how many applications were on the public housing priority waitlist at the end of April 2025, and how many individual applicants does that represent?
