Whitmore Square Soup Kitchen

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:09): Supplementary arising from the answer: did the minister have knowledge of or approve of her chief executive having these discussions with the soup kitchen referred to in the ABC report on Sunday?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:09): I was advised that my chief executive had had discussions, and I refer the honourable member to the factual response rather than his misrepresentation of the events that took place.
