AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for her question. Unfortunately, because I was sick yesterday I was not in this place. However, I understand that a question about this very important issue was put to the Minister for Child Protection. As Minister for Youth, youth homelessness is an issue that I am very keen to address. As the member mentioned, the supported accommodation program falls within the Minister for Child Protection’s responsibilities; she is currently in negotiations for the finalisation of that agreement. I expect—we have already discussed this—that the Minister for Child Protection will talk to me about progress on those negotiations as they unfold.
