          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:06):</by>  I can see what Labor are trying to portray here, which is drawing elements together in a misrepresentation of things that I have said. What I have been at pains to try to explain to them is that there are a number of cohorts who have been in Adelaide. The government has been trying to assist each of those cohorts with specific responses, including the ones that I mentioned yesterday. We are seeking to be nimble in our responses to address needs as they arise.</text>
