Disability Housing

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:31): Supplementary arising from the answer: will the minister show the workers here the respect they deserve and outline exactly which stakeholders were consulted with in formulating the policy to privatise these services?

The Hon. R.P. Wortley: You might get some tips from the assistant minister.

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:31): I have outlined the range of stakeholders. In order for me to go into every detail I would need to go through my diary for the last 14 or 15 months and bring that back to the honourable member, if that's what he is really seeking, but I can assure the house that I have discussed this with a range of stakeholders. It's a pretty transparent process for a document such as the 100-day commitments—to publish that, for it to be widely publicised. For the stakeholders who are the leaders, if you like, in this space to not be aware, I would be very surprised. I am not sure that we can be more transparent than actually naming the group homes as one of the areas that we were making a commitment to.
