Housing vacancy and vacant units
Senator Warfield challenged the claim that vacancy was not the issue and cited 4,000 vacant units between the canals. The Leader said she did not have the figures to hand and suggested the matter be raised in a Commencement debate for a full ministerial answer.
Surely vacancy is the problem and not-----

The point is that there is not much vacancy.

I do not have the figures here today.

It would be an idea to put that specific point down for a Commencement debate because the Senator could get a full answer from the Minister on that. Housing is an issue we should continually debate in the House. I would welcome an opportunity for Senator Warfield and others to be able to raise issues like that with the Minister.
