Ms Mary Hayes:

The Senator has hit on a current sore spot for us, to be honest. We have couples accommodation but if we do not watch the issue, it can drive rough sleeping, so we need to be very conscious of it. There are long-term couples who we know and they are accommodated. There are also couples who form, as with any other relationships. Within our current tender, we have something planned for couples accommodation. However, it is an issue that we have to be very conscious of and we do have a shortage right now, as of today.
