Disability

HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [ 5.45 pm ]: I rise to echo the sentiments of the Minister for Disability Services and to endorse the comments of members of the Labor, Liberal and National Parties. I rise on behalf of the WA Greens to also join the voices of my federal colleagues in condemning the comments made by Senator Hanson about people with autism. I also acknowledge the effect that those comments have had on their families.

HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [ 7.30 pm ]:

Thank you, Madam President. Congratulations on your appointment as the first woman President in the Legislative Council.
