          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK:</by>  I am not quite sure what the honourable member's point is. I have talked about these matters on numerous occasions. If the honourable members have a matter in relation to Anglicare, that was the organisation's decision itself. Can I remind them that Anglicare brought this matter to their attention prior to the election. They believed that the pricing was not adequate for that particular service. Anglicare did not raise that matter with me, so I was not able to advocate on their behalf and now they have made that decision. I know that the federal minister is well aware of that.</text>

J.M.A. LENSINK:</by>  Mr President, I know it's disorderly for members to interject and it's probably disorderly for me to respond, but I am not responsible for the pricing decisions of the National Disability Insurance Scheme. That is the matter. I am not quite sure what difficulty members of the Labor Party have in understanding that a national organisation falls under the purview of the national parliament and therefore a national minister.</text>
