          <by role="member" id="4364">The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:39):</by>  A supplementary arising from the original answer: can the minister elaborate on what the government imagines will happen in this rather obscurely named disability employment hub? Is it training people to become disability support workers? Is it training people to manufacture disability aids? Is it, heaven forbid, helping people with disabilities to find jobs? What does the government envisage will happen in the hub?</text>

MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (15:39):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. A major component of it will be providing training for people to work in the disability sector. We know there is a massive increase as the NDIS is rolled out for the need for people to work in that sector, so a major focus will be training. It is not finalised, and I would be happy to take into account the honourable member's views as the disability hub is finalised. I do not have all the details of it. The actual implementation of it rests with the Minister for Disabilities, but I will make sure that much more information is provided.</text>
