DISABILITY SERVICES

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:57): Mr Speaker, we are on a roll here. My question is to the Minister for Communities and Minister for Disabilities. Will the minister commit to introducing a bill for a new disability act into the parliament before the next state election? A new act was recommendation No. 1 of Monsignor Cappo's Strong Voices report, committed to by the Premier on 19 December 2011.

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:58): I thank the honourable member for the question. I have nothing else to add to my previous answer on this matter when I answered a government question regarding the disability act.

Mr Gardner: Before the election? Are you going to answer it before the election?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO: Would you like to give me a chance to actually answer the question before you interrupt? Thank you. It is the intention of the government to introduce the act before the election, yes.

The SPEAKER: I warn the member for Morialta for the first time. The member for Morphett.
