Ms Rebecca Keatinge:

I might add that in terms of adequate housing, factual scenarios must be looked at against the characteristics of adequate housing that are set out in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. It sets out seven different characteristics, which include security of tenure, accessibility, cultural adequacy and location. It is about measuring those factual circumstances the Senator drew out against those characteristics. There is a whole body of opinion that will guide the Government's consideration around what is adequate, so I do not think it is about specifying the size of an apartment.
