Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I am pleased that the minister has worked out that disabilities actually is not in the health portfolio. Given the expectation within the sector that there would be a dedicated disabilities minister, deliberately built up by Mr Shorten’s promise to have the portfolio elevated, why did the government not appoint a minister for disabilities?
