Intensive Home Based Support Service

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:09): I have a supplementary question. Given the cuts, has the state government actually made direct representation to the federal government encouraging them to continue funding this important program?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (15:09): I can't speak for the minister in the other place about what approaches he has made in particular, but I can assure the honourable member that at every opportunity South Australian government ministers are standing up to the commonwealth government as they viciously attack, through funding cuts, the most vulnerable in our communities and will continue to do so.
