DISABILITY SERVICES

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:40): I have a supplementary question. Could the minister representing the minister also ask the minister whether he has taken, or will take, the time to personally read my draft bill?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:41): I will of course undertake to give the minister advice if he asks for it. I am pretty sure he is quite able to seek out the information that will be before him. He will have excellent advice from his advisory committee and excellent advice from his officials and I am sure, if I were in his place, that I would want to read the Hon. Ms Vincent's draft bill, at the very least to inform myself of the antecedents, if you like, of the legislation.

However, I am very confident that he will see that the draft bill that comes from parliamentary counsel will have picked up many of the issues that the Hon. Kelly Vincent has raised in this place a number of times, and he will take that into account, as I would have done myself. I think the Hon. Ms Vincent will be pleasantly surprised when she does see the bill. I think honourable members across the aisle will also be quite pleasantly surprised when they see the bill—

An honourable member: We'll be looking.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: I am sure you will, and I will take any questions you have to the minister in the other place. As I said, should he ask I would be very happy to advise him, but he is quite able—

The Hon. S.G. Wade: Keep going; another seven seconds.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: Thank you, Stephen. He is quite able to avail himself of the information that I left behind for him, and I am sure he will be making his own statement on this matter in the near future.
