I apologise to Senator Paul Coghlan. I will have to explain myself. I love the area. My point is that in 2003, Threshold produced a report that stated that only one third of landlords were willing to take rent supplement tenants. This is not a short-term problem but has been with us for a long time. If we are going to depend on the market to supply housing to people in need - which I disagree with in principle - we must ensure they do not get the crud at the bottom of the market but good quality properties. Could Mr. Jordan expand on how the tax system could be brought into play to bring about better quality housing for people in need?
