My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, Senator Evans. Is the minister aware of comments by the government’s Disability Ambassador, Ms Catherine Deveny, that people who reside in the outer suburbs are, and I quote, ‘brainless retards’ and who likened a mother losing her temper to, and I quote, ‘chucking her annual Christmas spastic’.
