          <by role="member" id="3122">The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (14:27):</by>  Supplementary to the minister arising from her original answer: is the minister aware that people with disabilities who are seeking further transport voucher books are being denied those books by—I believe it is—DPTI if they have any single vouchers left? If she is not aware, will she make herself aware?</text>

          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:27):</by>  My understanding of DPTI's position was that, regardless of the number of vouchers that people had in their possession, they could apply for an additional book prior to 30 June. So what the honourable member has outlined is contrary to what the government's understanding is of what should be being provided. I will undertake to have a conversation with my colleague the Minister for Transport and ensure that his department is responding appropriately to anybody who makes that request.</text>
