DISABLED WOMEN

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (14:55): Will the minister clarify exactly what he means by 'coerced sterilisation', given that I believe that it would be difficult to tell whether or not a person was being coerced into this procedure, particularly if they did have an intellectual disability of some sort?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:55): I am not in a position to define it in this case, but I imagine it would mean 'improperly encouraged'.
