DISABILITY ACCESS, PUBLIC TRANSPORT

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (15:21): Will the minister answer the second question in relation to his direct responsibility for the Office of Northern Connections—I know you are getting a message on your phone—because that is his direct responsibility, and that office's responsibility for policy development for the northern suburbs?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (15:21): I thank the honourable member for the supplementary, although it is somewhat muddled. It is not the responsibility of the Office of Northern Connections to be investigating disability access to public transport; that is the responsibility, purely and squarely, with the transport department, and that is where I will take it up.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Vincent has a supplementary.
