RAINBOW ADVISORY COUNCIL

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:35): Given that the advisory council on health, abolished in 2008, advised the minister directly, how can this council give direct advice to government when it is to a chief executive—no ministers?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:35): I thank the honourable member for his supplementary question, but I think he has not listened to the answer I gave. This council will directly report to my chief executive. This council will have the role and responsibility of considering across-government inclusion strategies, and that is the appropriate mechanism to do that.
