The second incident, Madam Speaker, relates to a tenant at Currong Flats who claims that she was assaulted last weekend. The Community Guardians appear to be involved in this issue. The alleged assault is denied and is denied by a third party, another resident, who was present at the time. Signed statements to this effect are being obtained from both parties. No Housing Trust staff or employees were injured in this incident. No sick leave has been taken by any Housing Trust staff or employee as a result of this incident.

Madam Speaker, I have taken the unusual step of responding in fairly specific terms on this issue. I, too, am becoming somewhat concerned about the level of specificity, if you like, in some of the questions that are being asked about individual circumstances. I wish to place on record my preparedness to provide to any member of the Assembly an expeditious response to constituent concerns about any matter of public safety, public health, or other concerns that I may have responsibility for within my portfolio. I will make that offer again during question time tomorrow and would ask that, if any member of the Assembly does have a specific issue in relation to personal and specific circumstances of this nature, we deal with it in those forms.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Assembly adjourned at 5.25 pm
