MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:39):</by>  Minister, have you even asked your department, and can you understand how it looks to the public and the media if you won't even answer if you have asked the department if that has happened before?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:39):</by>  The honourable member's question, as I recall it, is whether I have asked if any decisions have been made outside of the exemptions committee. The whole question indicates his lack of understanding of the process.</text>
        <text id="20201013257ff6a4abbc4cc8a0000179">As Mr Hunter's report states, the exemption committee makes advice to the authorised officer. It is the authorised officer who makes the decision. In relation to low-complexity matters, Mr Hunter himself suggests that there should be a fast-tracked process.</text>
