My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, imagine being under the control of a state appointed guardian or public trustee and not being allowed to grab an iced coffee for a treat or buy presents for the grandkids or replace your ill-fitting underwear. Sadly, this is the reality for many Australians. No wonder a Tasmanian inquiry concluded that the Public Trustee misunderstood their duties for the last 26 years or that Four Corners recently documented a number of injustices inflicted by public trustees across Australia. Prime Minister, do you agree that it's an inherent right to exercise as much control over your life as possible, and will you help develop a new national framework for supported decision-making?
