(1)-(2) The Minister for Disability Services has responded to questions about this issue in the Parliament. I have complete confidence in her and the way that she is administering her portfolio on behalf of disabled people in Western Australia. Not only is the minister discharging her duties properly in the functioning of her agency - the Disability Services Commission - but also she is without doubt an outstanding advocate for disabled people in Western Australia.
