Minda Incorporated

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:21): Supplementary: will the minister undertake to back the board, or is she still refusing to back the board, as she did yesterday?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:21): The honourable member does like to put words in members' mouths—fairly standard practice of Labor members, who actually don't even understand governance themselves. The board is elected from the Minda organisation and the responsibility of my agency is to ensure that any care concerns are investigated, that any other concerns are investigated and to ensure that Minda is complying with its service agreement.

The Hon. C.M. Scriven: Are you confident in the board, was the question?

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Scriven, is this a supplementary?

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: A supplementary, since we didn't get—

The PRESIDENT: A supplementary arising out of the answer, yes.
