Social housing—Inglewood
138. Ms Kirrilee Warr to the Minister for Housing and Works:
I have a
supplementary question. How can the minister assure communities around the
state that he will commit to guaranteeing that antisocial and violent behaviour
will not be tolerated in his tenancies? Will there be a budget allocation?
Several members
interjected.
The Speaker: Members! When you are ready, minister.

What a sad state of
affairs. I mean it is quite extraordinary when you think about it. Every state

The Speaker: Members!
Mr John Carey: Again, it is no surprise that at the

decided to match what Labor was doing. The only questions and statements we are
hearing from the opposition are focused on the worst.
Several members
interjected.
The Speaker: Members!
Mr John Carey: I know the member for Geraldton's

women's shelter.
