I also go to the juvenile response about your door being always open, with you saying I could have asked. Mr Smyth was over here talking about how we would close the day, how he would talk, how we had finished. I said in passing, “I am assuming you are passing and supporting this bill.” For you to continue to come in here with a juvenile political play about some things such as the importance of how we ensure safeguards—
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Mr Gentleman): Order! Minister, could you please address your comments through the chair.
MS BURCH: Thank you. Through you, Mr Assistant Speaker, I think it is more telling of your attention to this. I hope that in future, when we are talking about something of such importance, to provide security, safeguards and quality assurance for services for people with a disability, you can keep your juvenile antics to yourselves.
In closing, I want to thank everybody—including the two officials here who were part and parcel of putting together this amendment act, all the subordinate material and the regulations that went with it. It is a significant piece of work, an important piece of work. I commend the bill to the Assembly.
