Instead of banding together once again and playing politics with such a serious issue, Labor and the Greens should support our plan for housing which is delivering more homes for Tasmanians faster than ever before.
In relation to all the cases raised by the Opposition in State Parliament today, Housing Connect is working with the individuals and will continue to offer them a range of supports and assistance.
The Opposition knows this, and Housing Connect will continue working with the individuals to assist them with their housing needs.

The Tasmanian Government is committed to supporting tenants and landlords as the State recovers and rebuilds from COVID-19.
We were the first State in Australia to legislate protections for residential landlords and tenants experiencing severe hardship during the unprecedented circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tasmanian is in a strong position and our Government is now focused on assisting residential tenancies to transition out of the emergency period.
Residential rental protections are coming to an end on 31 January 2021, but we have always said that if circumstances dramatically change in the future we will consider further support if required.
