Australian Craniofacial Unit

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:39): Supplementary: is the minister aware that Dr Grave has launched legal action against the government following his removal from the Australian Craniofacial Unit? What position is the minister taking on that legal action?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:39): I am aware that DrĀ Grave's legal representatives have been in correspondence with the department. I do not know the stage of that legal action, if in fact it is legal action. It could be just an exchange of letters. I assume the honourable member has Dr Grave's permission to canvass his circumstances in the parliament, but I am certainly not going to interfere in the legal proceedings that the department has afoot, if in fact there are any. I don't intend to comment further.
