FOSTER CARE PAYMENTS
The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Families and Communities, Minister for Northern Suburbs, Minister for Housing, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Disability) (15:30): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.
Leave granted.
The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: I would like to clarify some information I gave in response to a question from the member for Davenport in relation to foster care payments. Between 30 June 2007 and 1 October 2008 the average carer payment to assist carers to look after children has increased by nearly 50 per cent.
