Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS (Minister of Housing): In answer to the first part of the question, yes. In answer to the second part of the question, 30 percent is an international benchmark that is used to indicate whether housing costs are affordable or not. For public housing, we have set the rent at 25 percent of income. The proportion of people spending more than 30 percent of their income on housing costs is higher for renters than homeowners. The biggest increase in the proportion of renters paying more than 30 percent of their income happened in the 1990s, and that proportion has been relatively stable in recent years.
