Ministerial Statement
LYSTER

... The Minister for Community Services has instigated investigations at the Pleasant Creek, Caloola, Janefield and Kew Cottages residential institutions with resultant changes to those services. In May 1991 the Public Advocate informed the Minister for Community Services of concerns about the care and treatment of residents at the Aradale Psychiatric Hospital and residential institution. As those services are administered by Health Department Victoria the allegations were referred to me. The department immediately established a task force to ...

... It seems anomalous that one child born with a disability can be awarded $2 million yet another child who lives in Kew Cottages and who is equally disabled receives nothing at all. It is difficult to see how justice is done in such circumstances. I wonder whether our system of awarding damages should also be subject to a similar process of review. Mr John Little is a constituent of mine - - ...

... I take the point he makes about the Kew Cottages and St Nicholas Parents Association. I have no doubt that Community Services Victoria has carefully worked out plans and alternatives for the people who have been housed in the residences he mentioned, but I will make certain that the Minister conveys clearly to the parents association the substance of those plans. ...

... One day I happened to be at an organisation when a young chap came from Kew Cottages in a taxi. He had to be physically removed from the taxi and lasted about 1 hour before he had to go back. Eventually he was able to fit into the program and has now passed through it and is employed by one of the gardening services in the area. It takes time, but dealing with challenging behaviour must ...

... The intellectually disabled people at Kew Cottages are not being fed adequately. It is somewhat odd that the government now plans to establish sobering-up centres and fund them on an ongoing basis when it cannot feed people already in its care! As I said also, at present the government is closing down drug rehabilitation centres because it does not have the funds necessary to maintain them. The role of police officers will be that of ...
