Transport Subsidy Scheme

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:24): My question is to the Minister for Human Services. Will the minister confirm that the South Australian Transport Subsidy Scheme recipients are now required to present fresh medical forms qualifying their disability when they order their last ever bonus book?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:25): I thank the honourable member for that question. As she knows, I am not the minister who has primary responsibility for this matter. I have undertaken, with my colleague the Hon. Stephan Knoll, in terms of lobbying the federal government and most recently the National Disability Insurance Agency to resolve those particular issues. I would be surprised if that was the case, but I would need to double-check that with my colleague the Hon. Stephan Knoll.
