Bidois DanDAN BIDOIS (National—Northcote): Mr Chair thank you very much. It's a pleasure to continue this discussion on Part 2 of the Social Workers Registration Legislation Bill. I know it is a narrow part of the bill. We have debated the substance in Part 1 and we're really left with essentially a page and a page that essentially amends two broad Acts: the Health and Disability Commissioner Act of 1994 and also the Criminal Records (Clean Slate) Act of 2004. I do have some questions about clause 70 which deals with the Criminal Records (Clean Slate) Act of 2004. This section offers an amendment to section 19(3)(d) of the Act with respect to essentially making it so that it's clear that the Social Workers Registration Board is considering whether the eligible individual is fit and proper to be registered as a social worker. Now what I see from this change is that essentially the individual must state if they have a criminal record to the Social Workers Registration Board but I do have a question around the process by which they do that. We've talked about process quite at length but I haven't received an answer to my questions to the Minister around process—how they actually go about registration—CHAIRPERSON (Adrian Rurawhe): I just want to remind the member again and members of the Opposition that we're debating Part 2 not the process. Any questions that were asked in Part 1—the committee has already accepted Part 1. We're now on to Part 2.DAN BIDOIS: Mr Chair I absolutely agree with you and I am narrowing my discussion on Part 2 because again there are questions that I have about Part 2 that were not addressed in Part 1 around the Social Workers Registration Board and the extra funding and resource requirements in order to handle the extra applications. The Minister has not in fact answered my question around the resourcing requirements that we will see. In fact if we're asking essentially people to come to the registration board with any convictions that they have what is the process by which they do that and are there actually funding requirements for that? So I would appreciate that the Minister does take the time. Again we would have liked—and I would have liked as a member of the Social Services and Community Committee—to have debated this bill and this Supplementary Order Paper (SOP) in more depth but unfortunately we're here and this is why I think it's really important that we discuss Part 2 of the bill. So I do want the Minister to just clarify the impact for the Social Workers Registration Board in terms of their funding and resource implications but also the process because it's not clear to me how a social worker is actually required to disclose this—is this on an application? What if they've submitted their application and they get a criminal record after that—what do they need to do? What if they're registered and they get a criminal record after they've been registered—are they actually required to go back to the registration board? It would be very important that the Minister answers these questions on record.So they are the questions that I have lingering from Part 2. I've tried to of course keep the questions that I have narrowly focused. But again I want to reiterate that we would have liked to have had this discussion in the select committee but unfortunately we're here now because the Minister again is having—and it's a lingering trait or quality from this Minister to drop SOPs at the very last minute. So Mr Chair thank you.
