Senator Thorpe, I can inform you that this particular section has been used 127 times on approximately 1,000 residential lots since 2011, so over the last 10 years—53 times in Queensland and 74 times in Western Australia. This includes at least 778 public houses and other facilities in Queensland and 312 public houses and 73 other facilities in Western Australia. These figures are as at 8 October 2020. That's been the overwhelming purpose for using it—for residential properties and public housing. But you can be assured that the measure is used only sparingly.
