          <by role="member" id="4342">Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (14:48):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion. Can the minister explain why after almost eight months one of my constituents who has lost his school bus driver's licence due to lack of response is yet to receive a response to a screening application for child-related employment?</text>

BETTISON (Ramsay—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:48):</by>  I do not think it is appropriate to talk about specific individual cases and their name. I understand the situation. We have gone through the process with him, we have informed him of the situation. The authorising organisation—the ball is in their court now. My understanding is that the decision, whether it will be specific clearance or not, will be up to that organisation.</text>
