My question is to the Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme, Senator Reynolds. In defending her heartless failure to pick up the phone and personally apologise to the family of Liam Danher, after 78 days in the portfolio, the minister asserted, 'If my Chief of Staff does something on my behalf, then I consider that is the case.' Why won't the minister just pick up the phone and apologise to Liam's family?
