Well, it would be nice if the minister knew her job. Yesterday the minister said:

… this is a demand driven system. That means that people who wish to access the system do so at their demand.

I refer to the case of Ms Shannon Manning from Queensland, whose profoundly disabled daughter, Meadow, has been waiting more than a year to get a wheelchair and hoist. Is this what you mean by 'demand driven system'?
