          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (16:32):</by>  Certainly. That's not consistent with what the recommendations of either the task force report or the Robertson report state. They state that advice needs to be sought with the commonwealth. In the first instance, those matters about the constitutional issue that the South Australian Crown has identified need to be resolved. Further, the task force recommendation is that people would need to be consulted about the model of a community visitor scheme going forward.</text>
        <text id="202009087851f795985a468990000326">The task force is still accepting individuals' submissions, which it is doing until 14 September. In any case, the matter of what form the Community Visitor Scheme should take going forward is something that I tasked Dr David Caudrey once I had received the WestWood Spice report, which was commissioned by the Disability Reform Council. Those are models that we have already been looking at in determining how the scheme should look into the future.</text>
