Human Services Department

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (16:50): Yes, please, Mr President, thank you. Is the minister saying that she has not seen any recommendation or similar in regard to the chief executive of her department?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (16:50): I didn't say that. It is once again one of the Labor Party's favourite tactics; there are many. There are many tactics that they employ. They like to put words in people's mouths, they like to pretend that we're in the middle of an open book exam where they're the only ones who've got the book.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: And I'd like to hear the answer. Order!

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: There's a range of interesting strategies that the Labor Party, in their complete desperation and their complete irrelevance at this time, employ during question time. But if it makes them happy, Mr President, then so be it.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Leader of the Opposition is out of order. The minister should conclude her answer.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: I'm sorry, Mr President. In that case, I stand by my original answer.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: Supplementary, Mr President.

The PRESIDENT: This will be the last one, because I am keen to get further down the list of people that are due to have a question today. Final supplementary on this topic, the Hon. Ms Scriven.
