Disability Services

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:24): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Minister for Human Services regarding disability services.

Leave granted.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: In this place yesterday, the minister raised an issue about a former minister not being notified when a child was raped at a western suburbs school. The minister spoke about her own conduct regarding notification of critical incidents and I quote the minister when she said:

…I demanded—I insisted—being on this list. When I was a new minister in this government…I said to my CE that I wanted to be on the list.

Minister, have you been informed of any person living with a disability having been raped or sexually assaulted in a state-run disability care facility for which you are responsible?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:25): I receive a number of these critical incidents, which relate to a whole range of matters. Sometimes they are of that nature and sometimes they relate to other forms of abuse.
