OLYMPIC GAMES RENTAL ACCOMMODATION
The Hon. Dr MARLENE GOLDSMITH: My question without notice is directed to the Minister for Community Services, representing the Minister for Fair Trading. Given that there will be a great demand for accommodation in the area surrounding the Olympic site in the period leading up to and during the year 2000 Olympics, is the Government aware that demand for accommodation and premium prices obtainable for accommodation because of the Olympic Games may well result in individuals and families having their rental agreements terminated and thus losing their homes? When will the Government act to ensure that people, especially families, renting in the Sydney metropolitan area do not become victims of such social dislocation in the year 2000?
The Hon. R. D. DYER: I shall obtain a suitable response to that question from my colleague the Minister for Fair Trading, and Minister for Women.
