The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (15:11): Supplementary: is the minister confirming that the chief executive's letter sent on 12 June was sent as a result of the minister's miscommunication with his department?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:11): It's a great response, isn't it? I have just been talking about Labor and some of the peak bodies misrepresenting the facts. Now, with me hardly finishing a breath, she wants to misrepresent my statements to this house. I said that both the letters were sent to clarify matters, to make sure that NGOs had the information they need. We will not hesitate to make sure that, if people need more information, we will give it to them.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Bourke, a final supplementary and then I would like to move on.
