          <by role="member" id="3122">The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (15:05):</by>  Thank you, sir, I will. Given that the minister, in her original answer, was very happy to say that she made representations to her federal counterpart on school transport matters—and presumably they are matters that are the responsibility of the Minister for Education—why then is she avoiding any responsibility for taking up the issues of taxi vouchers or other transport subsidy for people with disabilities instead of just handballing it to the minister in the other place?</text>
