          <by role="member" id="4364">The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:11):</by>  I have a supplementary question. I think my memory serves me correctly when I say that the minister mentioned health and medical devices as an area of interest. I wonder if he has done any investigating into the possibility of hiring ex-Holden workers to build equipment such as mobility aids and car modifications for people with disabilities.</text>

We have had a number of visits and representations from auto-supply companies that are looking to diversify into a number of areas, including some that are looking at devices that assist those with disabilities—so absolutely.</text>
