Transport Subsidy Scheme

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:20): A further supplementary arising from the answer: has the minister, who has responsibility for services to South Australians living with a disability, made representations or held discussions with the Minister for Transport about the South Australian Transport Subsidy Scheme, or does she not care or see that as any part of her role?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:20): Mr President, if we just set aside the last bit of innuendo in the supplementary question, the substantive response to the question is yes.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Scriven.

The Hon. K.J. Maher: That's what you want people listening to take away, is it? Think about that before you answer next time.

The PRESIDENT: Leader of the Opposition, the minister doesn't need gratuitous advice.

The Hon. K.J. Maher interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The minister doesn't need gratuitous advice. Leader of the Opposition, you are talking across one of your own members who has the call and is standing. Show some respect for the Hon. Ms Scriven. The Hon. Ms Scriven, you have the call.
