AUSTRALIAN DISABILITY ENTERPRISES
139. Hon SUE ELLERY to the Minister for Finance:
(1) Is the
Department of Finance measuring the success of the State Supply Commission's
policy to encourage and broker purchasing opportunities with Australian
Disability Enterprises?
(2) If yes to (1), how is it being measured and what targets
have been set?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
(1)–(2)
No. The role of the Department of Finance in this initiative was to amend State
Supply Commission policy and to provide practical advice to government agencies
on the scope and application of the supply policy changes. The Department of
Finance continues to engage with National Disability Services and Workpower
Incorporated to promote opportunities for Australian Disability Enterprises.
The Leader of the Opposition may
be interested in some initiatives outside my own portfolio responsibilities if
she wishes to pursue an inquiry with the Minister for Disability Services and
the Minister for Communities.
