Early Intervention Research Directorate

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:41): Further supplementary: what sensitive information would have been involved in the EIRD briefing that made the minister refuse to grant it to the shadow minister?

The PRESIDENT: I don't think that comes out of the original answer, but I will allow the minister to answer.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:41): The shadow minister was provided with the same level of briefing as I was as a shadow minister, so that is the answer.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Pangallo—

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: She can't ask for briefings every five minutes.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Pangallo has the call.
