          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:36):</by>  I think it would be easy to speculate, but I think speculation is not particularly helpful. I think some of the public commentary around this situation that Ann Marie came into has not been assisting the official inquiries, and therefore I think we need to allow those investigations to go forward. I am quite confident that the task force is going to identify areas—I have spoken about these publicly in terms of things that people said early on about quarterly health checks and ensuring that there is not a single worker operating in terms of someone as their sole carer. There is a range of things that will be identified further, and I think we need to allow those investigations to take place.</text>
