National Disability Insurance Scheme

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:39): A supplementary: since yesterday's budget, what representations have you made to your federal counterparts to express your alleged concern that South Australians living with disability are being forced to go without for the sake of a flimsy budget surplus?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:39): The honourable member invites me to behave like the South Australian Labor Party and jump on the comments. They have realised that one of the Greens senators has raised this as a concern and suddenly realised that it's an issue.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! Allow the minister to answer.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: This is an issue that I have specifically raised through the Disability Reform Council and we have, from memory, put papers forward and motions forward to it. It is a national problem and we will continue to raise it with the commonwealth government.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Scriven, just sit there and allow your own members to calm down. The Labor benches, I will wait until you are calm and then I am going to allow one of your own members to ask her supplementary question in silence. The Hon. Ms Scriven.
