          <by role="member" id="1820">The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:30):</by>  Why did the minister then say yesterday on radio, 'The government took on payment of those original staff. We have been operating the service with those staff for the last six months and will continue with those staff in the new arrangements'? She is now telling us that some of them have been terminated.</text>

I cannot help it if the honourable member fails to do his research, fails to read the context. As I have said, I have been clear right from the outset that we are moving from five FTEs to 4.8 and that there has been a process of contract renewal.</text>
