          <by role="member" id="3122">The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (15:10):</by>  I have a supplementary question. The minister mentioned a number of staff allocated to deal with backlogs of screening applications. Will the minister advise the chamber that the number of staff allocated to the screening administration in her agencies will not be reduced by any government efficiencies required of her agencies in the next state government budget?</text>

          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:11):</by>  I see that this will be a line of questioning to me about ruling things in and ruling things out, and I'm not ruling anything in or out in relation to the budget. I'm sure the media will tire of receiving these media releases stating that 'The Minister for Human Services won't rule this or that out', but I'm not going to play that game.</text>
