Ms Rosemary Steen:

We will be providing an update on that with our next quarterly release of data on 11 September, which will deal with that matter.

In response to the Senator's first question, on behalf of the RTB, we would agree that supply is a continuing issue in the market. There is no doubt that every unit is of value and a potential home. It is our role as the regulator to ensure that the services we operate are as efficient as possible so that those disputes are resolved. It is important to say that the vast majority of landlords and tenants never end up in dispute. There have only been 11,000 cases out of a total of 300,000 tenancies. Therefore, a very small percentage end up in dispute. Following a successful engagement with mediation, both the tenant and landlord reach agreement. That is why in the new system, we have adopted a mediation-first approach. As regards the issue the Senator is discussing, if the parties could engage in mediation, that matter might be resolved within seven weeks.
