          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:08):</by>  I have a supplementary question. Will the minister bring back to this house all the advice she has received in relation to how the government is tracking on this particular target? Given that she has confirmed that the government is unlikely to achieve it, what are the current estimates her department has made in terms of the increase in the number of people with disability being employed on current rates by 2020?</text>

GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:09):</by>  I thank the honourable member for his question. I have already outlined the information that I have in relation to how we are tracking. I have already put that on the public record and I have no further information to add at this point. In relation to the outcome, as I have indicated, we remain committed to achieving the 10 per cent target. I have indicated that we have put various programs and other actions in place to assist us to get back on track.</text>
