          <by role="member" id="4697">The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:31):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Human Services regarding homelessness. Is the minister aware if her chief executive, when visiting the street kitchen in Whitmore Square, was accompanied by either a member of the safety and wellbeing task force, a member of the minister's department, or a member of the chief executive's immediate family?</text>
