Social Workers Registration Scheme

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:46): Supplementary: why were the information sessions advertised to outline the new scheme cancelled at short notice?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:46): That's not from the original answer.

The PRESIDENT: Well, minister, you are on your feet.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: Anyway, I am happy to take that on notice and bring back a response.

The PRESIDENT: I didn't even get the chance to allow it or not.

The Hon. T.A. Franks: You didn't know how this scheme was going to work—

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. T.A. Franks: —because you haven't taken advice from the Australian Association of Social Workers, who are your key stakeholder.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Franks!

The Hon. T.A. Franks: The minister has a pattern.

The PRESIDENT: Order!
