Integrity Care

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (16:14): A further supplementary arising from the answer and the minister's discussion about the news that is just to hand. Can the minister advise if she had sought or received any advice as to whether the state government has had the power to shut down Integrity Care in the last five months prior to today's police raid?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (16:15): That's a pretty broad question in terms of the remit that the honourable member is seeking for me to respond to and may well go to other portfolio areas. The state opposition has been trying to make implications in relation to a range of areas, in this particular case that somehow the state government has had some involvement in this matter or should have been part of it.

I think part of what the Labor Party forgets, out of convenience, is that at the time of her death Ann Marie Smith was not a state government client, she had transitioned to the NDIS. So as much as the Labor Party will try to make this a matter of the state government, unfortunately for them that is not the case.
