Ms Helen Guinan:

I would hope, if the country is out of the recession, that the needs of people with disabilities would be to the forefront in that recovery and that it will mean, as Senator Conway said, the employment of such people will not be forgotten, that all services would put a cross-sectoral support in place and that various sectors would work together collaboratively under the national disability strategy. There is a framework for it and it is matter of getting everybody to pull together.
