I would imagine that it would be my department. If someone misses out on the work, they can come and talk to the Department of Housing. The SPEAKER : Members, that concludes question time. Point of Order Mr T.G. STEPHENS : Mr Speaker, last Thursday I raised a point of order with you in reference to the tabling of a document which was quoted from by the Minister for Housing and which was referred to as an official document with official quotes and official data. You took the document and looked at it, but we have not heard back, as far as I am aware, in the chamber as to what your decision was on that document. The SPEAKER : Thank you very much for the timely reminder, member for Pilbara. Yes, indeed I did take that document. But in no sense was it an official document. Mr T.G. Stephens : So did the minister mislead the house? The SPEAKER : The document that I took from the Minister for Housing in fact was a hand-typed sheet. I do not know whether the Minister for Housing hand-typed it, but it was certainly hand-typed. That is what the document was.
