Member, I know that this is an
ignominious start to question time, but I do not have the answer to that
question in my file at this stage. If one
comes in before the end of question time, I will provide it to the member. Just
as a matter of notice, I do not have the answers to C003 or C004. If
those answers come in, I will give them to the member if he has asked the
questions, but at this stage, I do not have those answers.
Hon
Dr Steve Thomas : That is an
inauspicious beginning to question time in 2023. I might try this question
then, President.
