9. Question No. 9—HousingBROOKE VAN VELDEN (Deputy Leader—ACT) to the Minister of HousingQuestion No. 9—Housing9. BROOKE VAN VELDEN (Deputy Leader—ACT) to the Minister of Housing: Did she take a paper to the Cabinet Social Wellbeing Committee last week; if so did that paper contain a recommendation to extend time frames for private landlords to reach the heathy homes standards?Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS (Minister of Housing): Yes along with recommendations to extend the compliance time frames for Kāinga Ora and community housing providers. This Cabinet paper was based on policy decisions that I made in August of this year.Brooke van Velden: Why did it include private landlords?Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: Because we'd heard from private landlords that they needed additional time in order to reach the standards.Brooke van Velden: Is it a contradiction from this Government to extend the healthy homes standard deadlines for private landlords when in this House on 18 November 2021 in answer to my question about an extension to the healthy homes standards the now former Associate Minister of Housing said It's my understanding that the vast majority of landlords have already complied"; and about advice received "The advice was that it would not be possible to extend compliance deadlines in a way that assists the vast majority of landlords and including those whose compliance deadlines have already passed."?Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: Of course it's not a contradiction—we are a pragmatic Government that listens to sector feedback. What we do know is that the most up-to-date data that we have from survey work is around 85 percent of private landlords have complied or have work under way to comply with the standard. This is roughly around the same as Kāinga Ora of what they have completed or have under way. This suggests to me that this is around the market capacity at the moment given the constraints that we've seen in completing this work. It would be absurd for our Government not to listen to that.Brooke van Velden: When did this advice change?Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: If the member cared to listen to the previous answer that I gave to the primary question the decision was made based on policy decisions that I made in August. I received a briefing on 9 August of which I agreed to the recommendations to include Kāinga Ora community housing providers and private landlords as well as extending out the time to comply between tenancies from 90 to 120 days. I know that the Opposition spokesperson on housing has put out a press release today saying that this was in response to ACT's pressure but she is simply wrong and the documentation shows she is wrong.SPEAKER: Did you refer to the National Party?Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: No I was referring to the Opposition spokesperson.SPEAKER: The ACT spokesperson?Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: Oh sorry. The ACT spokesperson.SPEAKER: OK very good. But the start of the answer was unnecessary. I'll give the member an extra question.Brooke van Velden: Will she release all advice on the healthy homes extensions that she has received including relevant Cabinet papers and advice that she's received from officials?Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: The relevant Cabinet paper was put up earlier today on the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development website so it has already been received. And point of order Mr Speaker. I seek leave to table a piece of advice from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development dated 8 August 2022 and entitled Residential Tenancies (Healthy Homes Standards) Regulations 2019—SPEAKER: Is it publicly available?Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: No it's not. Review of—SPEAKER: Leave is sought for that. Is there any objection? There appears to be none; it may be tabled.Document by leave laid on the Table of the House.SPEAKER: Sorry I just want to check. Did you use the extra question I gave you or are you—Brooke van Velden: I did use an extra question."
