00:06Now he juggles IT studies and a warehouse job from his inner Brisbane apartment.
00:12Oh look it's priceless.
00:13It's a success story the government is looking to replicate for hundreds of other Queenslanders with supported accommodation.
00:21It's somewhere I can build the foundations of everything that I've been trying to work towards for quite a long
00:25time.
00:25The initiative will provide 600 transitional homes with round-the-clock on-site specialist services and a pathway to permanent
00:35accommodation.
00:36This will be for young Queenslanders, it'll be for families, it'll be for individuals and it will be absolutely life

01:35The country in the economy continues to stay the government.
01:35The company towards the public, it's going to be a bit complicated.
01:36It just opens our energy and the state of the government is a large number of the country
01:36The government has started to order to be a bit complicated or moral and the state of the enterprise has
01:36been created.
