I support the amendment. What is the remedy if these targets are missed? There is obviously a macro incentive for the public service to increase the percentage in employment but what is the remedy for a person with a disability on a micro level? At the organisational level of Department or State agency, they will displace the macro incentive to someone else, as it is a general percentage. Has the Minister of State considered specifying additional organisational targets so that the macro target can be reached?
