The Hon. J.E. HANSON (14:26): Supplementary: given that it appears the minister is rejecting almost universal calls for an independent inquiry in his answer, and he has also refused to provide Mr Lander the necessary funding for the review which he has requested, is he at least willing to concede that in some way, without those funds for the ICAC commissioner, there may be matters which will not be identified in this process?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:27): I welcome the report from the ICAC commissioner. It will be the task of the cross-agency task force, working with myself and my cabinet colleagues, to make sure that we have a comprehensive implementation plan so that issues are addressed. It's important to appreciate that a lot of the work that is highlighted here, the ICAC commissioner indicates, is work in progress. After all, the report highlights that some of these issues were highlighted in the Auditor-General's report of 2013.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Bonaros has the call, and then I will give the call to the Hon. Mr Hanson.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Ms Bonaros is on her feet.
