00:00The housing minister under fire in the house.
00:05That is shameful.
00:06On Monday, the government announced it would launch annual reviews of social housing tenants' eligibility,
00:12with 52,000 people on the wait list.
00:15But the overhaul won't include an update of income limits, last reviewed in 2006.
00:21Can the minister advise what single mums on $46,000 a year should tell their kids
00:27when the minister kicks them out of their home?
00:30I'm not going to take lectures on social housing eligibility from the party
00:35who allowed people on six-figure salaries to live in social housing.
00:40However, the government has clarified people living in social housing are eligible to stay
00:46as long as their household income doesn't exceed $80,000 and wants an apology from Mr Miles.
00:53The government wants to incentivise tenants to downsize by offering rent-free periods
00:58to make space for people on the wait list.
01:01The opposition quizzed Sam O'Connor's living arrangements.
01:05The minister has called on people in social housing to leave their family homes
01:09to make the most of spare bedrooms.
01:11Will the minister leave by example and move out of his three-bedroom house?
01:16If it wasn't enough to get dumped from the front bench, to get given the stitch-up question
01:23of no-one else wanted to ask that.
01:26Meantime, the opposition has joined the Greens in calling for the state government
01:30to save Toowong Private Hospital, expected to close this week.
01:34The reality is we can't afford to lose these beds.
01:37What we need is the Christopher Lee government to step in here and purchase this hospital
01:42and roll it into the public network to ensure that the capacity isn't lost.
01:47The government didn't respond to questions about whether it would buy the private hospital.
01:52It says it's continuing to work with the facility to determine the impact its closure may have
01:58on public health services.
02:00And as part of the president, we have been trying to find 4-6 women'saj które
