Minister, do you seriously expect us to believe that it has been more than a year and a half since you received any information about a critical incident in state-run disability care?</text>

J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:30):</by>  I will correct the record—that I have received a critical client incident more recently than that, in relation to a death.
