I thank Senator Wright for her second supplementary question. Much of the question goes to what I would regard as state issues. States would work through their various community departments to assist those people who have been remanded in custody or have experienced a term of imprisonment and then seek accommodation. State and territory governments have a range of assistance for those people. It is a question that should be directed to state and territory governments. To the extent that the Attorney-General can provide additional information in respect of that particular question, I will seek that additional information. In addition to that, I would point out that this government has a separate housing minister who is interested in this field. (Time expired)
