The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (15:02): Further supplementary: will the minister apologise for misleading the chamber, including again yesterday in her ministerial statement, when she said she had not been provided with specific client details, despite the member for Hurtle Vale providing her with those details on multiple occasions?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:02): Absolutely not—absolutely not. The member for Hurtle Vale is playing some very dangerous games. We have tracked every piece of correspondence and she is incorrect and she ought to apologise to every organisation that looks after people with disabilities. We have been tracking her activities. We will make sure that community organisations understand the sort of behaviour that the member for Hurtle Vale has been engaging in—undermining them.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY: Point of order: the Hon. Mr Ridgway just told the Leader of the Opposition to shut his mouth. The Leader of the Opposition is performing what he is supposed to do at question time, and to be told to 'shut your mouth' is totally unparliamentary.

The PRESIDENT: Thank you for your concern about the behaviour in the chamber. The Hon. Mr Ridgway, please restrain yourself in your chair, because it is causing the Hon. Mr Wortley—

The Hon. R.P. Wortley interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Don't talk to me seated—some concerns. Leader of the Opposition, I didn't see what you were doing, but no doubt you may well have been deserving of the comment. I don't know. The minister has finished her answer. The Hon. Ms Scriven, that last supplementary I did allow. I was being very generous. It needs to be based on the original answer.
