The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:16): Supplementary arising from the answer: minister, can you understand how people would think it would be much easier just to provide that list so that it can be matched up to see whether anyone is actually providing care that the federal authorities have with those who have permission to do so from the state authorities?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:17): These are things that we have been actively engaging with. We also have the task force to look at whether there are particular gaps in the screening process, and if the honourable member has any suggestions then he might like to provide those to the task force.

I have already asked if the Labor Party would cooperate with the task force. It is an independent organisation. I am sure there are ideas from those independent members so that we can make improvements to those processes, and if the honourable member has any suggestions he can provide them to me and I would be happy to provide them to the task force as well.
