QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE › Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme, Minister for Government Services
Senator REYNOLDS (Western Australia—Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme and Minister for Government Services) (14:55): I thank the senator for her questions. As she knows, she has already put those questions on notice to me. Of course I will answer those in the normal course of events. As I said yesterday, and as I've repeated again today, first and foremost it is important for me to respect the wishes of individual family members, and that is what I always do. I have talked directly to some family members where they have wished to do so, and when and how they wished to do so. Again, my chief of staff acted on my behalf— The PRESIDENT: Senator Kitching on a point of order. Senator Kitching: I did give the minister an option that, if she couldn't remember everything that she had said that she did but in fact it was her chief of staff, she could come back and report to the chamber. But if she could give me some of that now it would be helpful. The PRESIDENT: With respect, the minister has concluded, but I think she did refer to questions on notice being answered as well. Senator Kitching? Senator Kitching: She must have a very bad memory, Mr President. The PRESIDENT: Senator Kitching, a final supplementary question.
