MEDICAL HEATING AND COOLING CONCESSION

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (14:55): By way of supplementary question, whilst the review of the scheme is being undertaken, will the minister simply remove the other box from the application form so that no more ineligible applications will be received?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:55): The Hon. Ms Vincent, despite all the attempts of assistance I have given her in this situation, simply does not understand the form.

The Hon. K.L. Vincent interjecting:

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: Well, the Hon. Ms Vincent does not know what she is talking about, sir.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. K.L. Vincent interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. K.L. Vincent interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Ms Vincent should ask a supplementary if she wants to.

The Hon. K.L. Vincent: I did.

The PRESIDENT: Yes, but if you need to ask another one, you may, but you can't go ranting and raving without—

The Hon. K.L. Vincent: Everyone else does!

The PRESIDENT: They are out of order, the same as you! Everyone else is out of order, the same as you.

The Hon. K.L. Vincent: Oh, good, good. It is just that it is important.

The PRESIDENT: I am sure it is important to you, but you must do it the right way, like I expect others to do it. Do you have any further questions?

The Hon. K.L. Vincent: No, sir.
