The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:25): Supplementary: can the minister outline the wraparound—

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: Point of order. The time expired for taking questions whilst the minister was still on his feet. If the honourable member has further questions, she can ask them in next question time.

The PRESIDENT: Well, that's your opinion. Would someone like to move an extension of time to allow Ms Vincent to ask her question?

The Hon. M.C. PARNELL: I move:

That question time be extended to enable the Hon. Kelly Vincent to ask her supplementary question and for the minister to answer.

Motion carried.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Vincent.

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT: Thank you, sir. If that is your ruling, I am happy to follow it. I wonder if the minister could outline the wraparound services he described in his answer, particularly given that the administrative cost for the rollout of the cashless welfare card is estimated to be $10,000 per recipient of that card? How does the cost or the funding allowed for wraparound services compare to that cost?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:26): The Hon. Ms Vincent is asking a range of questions that don't pertain to my specific portfolio area, but I am more than happy to see if we can acquire that information. I have to say that if the $10,000 spent is delivering an outcome, then I think that might be a worthwhile investment, but rather than comment off the cuff, I am more than happy to see if the responsible minister who is handling these particular areas in the other place can take that question on notice.
