Catherine House

The Hon. I. PNEVMATIKOS (14:57): Supplementary: which agencies are going to take, in terms of a transition program, the mental health work that Catherine House has been involved in primarily?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:57): The specifics are probably under negotiation.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Ms Pnevmatikos has asked a supplementary question and no-one can hear the response because of her opposition colleagues.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: The specifics are under negotiation. I don't think it's helpful for us to be canvassing all these issues in a public way while parties are negotiating.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: So we need the parties to work together.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: I might also add that the successful tender alliance has a very novel approach, where they have a specific mental health organisation as part of their bid, Sonder care.
