Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. The department of FaHCSIA confirmed at Senate estimates last week that they were aware of Ms Deveny’s comments prior to her appointment by former disabilities minister, Bill Shorten. Why, when the government was aware of Ms Deveny’s unfortunate comments, prior to her appointment, would she have been appointed?
