Is it the view that there is a cohort of people who currently have a social housing eligibility but were these rules in a place at an earlier stage ,they would not do? I will put my question another way. There is a group of people who, when these rules apply, or when this law is passed and these rules apply, a group of people who previously would have been deemed eligible for social housing support will be excluded from it, particularly in terms of new section 20A(3). Is it the Department's view that there are some people who are getting an entitlement to social housing supports that the Department thinks they should not do?
