National Disability Insurance Scheme

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:24): Supplementary, Mr President.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Sit down, the Hon. Ms Scriven.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Have we all got it out of our system? I would like to hear the supplementary from the Hon. Ms Scriven. The Hon. Ms Scriven, you have the call.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: Will the minister call for substantial improvements or, as part of the state government's commitment, ensure that those people living with a disability who may be worse off under the NDIS, as the minister has just admitted, can get the care and support they need? Will the South Australian government support them?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:24): That was quite a strange grab bag of supplementary posits put together into—

Members interjecting:

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: On specific matters in relation to specific clients, my office, unlike members of the Labor opposition, stands ready to assist individual constituents.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Minister, sit down. They are obviously not interested in your answer. The Hon. Ms Bourke, you have the call.
