It is a ridiculous way to run a government.

And it is very unfair to parents who are really frantic, trying to, you know, wondering about what, how they can support their children if their child wants to go to college.

And they don't know how much money will be available to them, whether the government will keep their commitment.

Yeah, and look, I think we all want, you know, people to get to the point where they're fully integrated, where they can work, where they have their own homes and can stand on their own feet.

And, you know, that's the ideal.

That's what we would want to happen.

I just do have a lot of concerns about ending this and putting tens of thousands of additional people into the housing market when we are already struggling and have so many people who are homeless.

And, you know, I heard reports of people getting a month's notice this week.

And I think, like, I don't know how anyone could find alternative accommodation in a month.

So I think it's how it's managed.

And, you know, like I am, I am actually really worried about whether or not they will be able to find accommodation.

And I think particularly for the host families, I mean, this was accommodation that was never available on the private market previously.

And now there's a risk that that...

Yeah, but I do think that needs to be monitored very, very carefully because I think there is a real risk when it comes to the homelessness issue.
