Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Does the minister agree with the comments of Senator McLucas at estimates that, as a person with a disability, Ms Deveny has a space that ‘she can say something that you and I can’t’? Will the minister take this opportunity to do what the appointing minister, Mr Shorten, has failed to do, what Minister Macklin has failed to do and what Senator McLucas to do and unequivocally condemn this appointment and apologise to Australians with a disability?
