DISABLED WOMEN

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:54): Supplementary question: in doing so, will the minister also undertake to provide evidence of where gender reassignment has been performed on individuals, whether that is considered because they have a disability or a medical condition?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:54): I am not sure that gender reassignments, in South Australia at least, are usually coerced or forced, but I will certainly pass that on to the honourable minister in another place and seek a response on the honourable member's behalf.
