Disability Advocate

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:27): Supplementary: when was the decision made to appoint Dr David Caudrey as Disability Advocate and when was the decision made to announce his appointment publicly?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:27): My recollection is that both of those matters have been quite recent. The announcement was made by press release. I put that out. I can retrieve it; I don't have it right in front of me. That was this week. In fact, it was yesterday that the announcement was made, and the decision to appoint Dr Caudrey is quite recent, too.
