Safeguarding Taskforce Interim Report

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:49): My question is to the Minister for Human Services regarding disability services. Minister, are you aware if all members of the task force saw and approved the interim report after it was finalised, and are you aware if the task force has met to discuss or review the interim report since it was finalised?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:49): These are matters for the task force themselves to determine.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The honourable Deputy Leader of the Opposition! Sit down.

The Hon. E.S. Bourke: Surely you sat down with them and you asked them about the report. Surely they provided a briefing.

The PRESIDENT: We will all listen to you, the Hon. Ms Bourke, will we? Minister.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: They have kept me up to date with things, as is appropriate.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! Next question, the honourable Leader of the Opposition, and the opposition benches will be silent while he asks his question, please.

The Hon. J.M.A. Lensink: Why do you keep trying to undermine what they are doing? Have you spoken to any of them?

The PRESIDENT: Minister!

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!
