Minda Incorporated
The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:25): Further supplementary: in relation to Minda, is the minister aware of the sale of a $10 million Minda property, and does she think the sale is appropriate?
The Hon. J.S.L. Dawkins: That wasn't in the original answer.
The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:26): Apart from that—
The PRESIDENT: Minister, do you wish to answer it?
The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: The Minda organisation has a range of services. Some of them are funded by my department and some of them are aged-care services that are funded by the commonwealth government. They have a retirement village, which is not something that my department is responsible for regulating. What I know from those allegations is all that I have read in the media. I will check with my department whether there's anything relevant, but as far as I know, being a non-government organisation, that is in the purview of Minda to determine themselves and is not part of the responsibilities of my department.
