In what is clearly a case of "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours", Carenne Support has employed former Capebase driver Steven Minshull to look after its vehicles.Minshull was accused on this website of conspiring with Simone Russell to defraud the department to maximise payment to his employer.
Despite claims by Carenne Support representatives and the Carenne Special School executive that everything on Sydney Indymedia and Carenne Gate are lies, rubbish or rot; it appears that yet another claim made by a Carenne Saviour has come true.

in her class will travel to and from school on his bus so he still has a bus driving job
at the end of the year. Carenne Support's bus could do the job with ease, but instead
of doing what makes sense they are looking after their friend. I wouldn't be surprised
if Steve loses a run that Carenne would give him a job maybe on one of their own
buses."
UPDATE: Mary Housler, Carenne Support's book keeper has admitted that a position was offered to Mr Minshull by Christine Porter and herself but was refused by him the next day after he took a copy of the contract. Mary also admits she told staff that Steve would be working as a bus escort the following Monday and alternate arrangements have been made now that he has refused Carenne Support's offer.
