(d) For what reasons have any of these people since left their Homeswest accommodation and where are they now located? (2) How many families-independently living persons had to find private accommodation and how are these families currently housed? (3) Given that the objective of closing the camp was to address the government’s serious concerns about child abuse and domestic violence, what monitoring was undertaken to establish how many alleged abusers remained within their family units after the closure of the camp and what ongoing monitoring has been conducted? The PRESIDENT : I note that the parliamentary secretary is answering the question as a representative of the Minister for Community Development.
