Is it true that the minister’s department is encouraging low-income families to move into Manjimup to occupy Homeswest houses? Hon TOM STEPHENS
AnswerView source ↗
I seem to recollect a question in a similar vein from the member about another town. I cannot remember which town it was now. Hon Robyn McSweeney: Same town. Hon TOM STEPHENS: It was the same town. If there are vacancies in Homeswest properties in Manjimup, I hope that my department is assisting and encouraging people to take up such vacancies there. I am not aware of any specific program for Manjimup. Manjimup seemed to me to be the sort of place that was warm and welcoming when I visited the area. I found it to be a very welcoming community. Hon Barry House: Perhaps you could send your Premier down there. He hasn’t had the guts to front up there since the election. The PRESIDENT: Order, members! This is not a debate. The minister is answering a question. Hon TOM STEPHENS: They seemed to be a very warm and welcoming lot. I think they are misrepresented a lot by the Opposition. Hon Kim Chance interjected. Hon TOM STEPHENS: Yes, I thought they were splendid people, and no doubt would be as welcoming of the tenants of the Department of Housing and Works as are many other communities throughout the length and breadth of this State. I hope that the honourable member is not doing anything that would represent what one could call mischief. Hon Robyn McSweeney: Never. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I know that members opposite are regularly drawn towards mischievous activity. During this, the first half of my parliamentary career, I have noticed that Liberals from time to time have caused - Several members interjected. The PRESIDENT: Order! The parliamentary secretaries will come to order. Hon TOM STEPHENS: They have often tried to cause mischief about the movement of people in need of housing from town to town and make it a source of controversy. In my experience, it has always been nothing more than that - Liberals making mischief - but then again, what is new?
