Extreme Weather Response

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:48): Further supplementary: is the minister aware of any service providers or advocacy groups who were calling for a declaration of a Code Blue prior to the decision to declare one recently?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:48): I am aware that there have been calls for Code Blues, but if you would like to avail yourselves of all the media commentary, the specialist homelessness service providers support the current criteria and have supported the timing of the calling of the Code Blue. There have been some robust discussions with other people, but the specialist homelessness service providers are very much behind this decision.

The PRESIDENT: Leader of the Opposition, the Hon. Ms Franks has indicated she would like a supplementary and caught my eye. Do you wish the call?
