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.
