I thank the Leader of the Opposition for providing some notice of the question. The former Minister for Disability Services has been asked to provide details of the accident for insurance purposes as part of the normal processes in these situations. That information has not yet been received. The Department of the Premier and Cabinet has advised that the former minister has not been charged in relation to the accident.
