DISABILITY SERVICES SECTOR - RESPONSIBLE MINISTERS
Now that the Premier has allocated the disability services portfolio again to the member for Girrawheen, will he guarantee that she will be in the job for more than 17 hours and it is not just a caretaker role? Mr A.J. CARPENTER

I think it is safe to say that the busiest man in Perth in the past couple of days has been the doorman at Government House, and it is most unfortunate. When I make decisions about policy allocation, I will think about whether I should call the member for Roe and ask for his advice.
