DISABILITY SERVICES

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:06): I have a supplementary question. Given the Social Inclusion Unit's number one recommendation was a human rights framework, as I have outlined, what further information and consultation need to be undertaken?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (15:06): We have often been attacked for coming into this place and announcing new legislation without proper consultation. That process will not happen in relation to this act. I commit here and now that we will be consulting very broadly on the new act and how it will operate.
