DISABILITY ACCESS, PUBLIC TRANSPORT

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:22): Does the minister accept that, while it may not be his direct responsibility to have knowledge of what every department is doing, it is his direct responsibility to encourage those departments to take their responsibility, in terms of disability services, very seriously, instead of standing there and whingeing about who should and should not do it?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (15:22): I thank the honourable member for her supplementary and her implied criticism of the members of the opposition for their whingeing and carping. I am very, very pleased indeed to see the Hon. Kelly Vincent coming out and saying they should be taking these issues up with the appropriate agencies but, if they are too lazy to work out where they should go, then I guess I will help them out.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Wade has a supplementary?
