As I said, I have not seen the reports and have no understanding of the context, other than that I know that Senator McLucas is a very strong advocate for people with a disability and their carers and has been for many years. I have complete faith in her. But I will refer the matters you raise to the minister. I do not have knowledge of them personally; I do not have knowledge of the context. I will ask the minister to provide you with a response. It is not appropriate for me to try and answer questions if I am not aware of the context or the whole history of what you refer to. I will take it on notice and get you a response.
