I refer the Hon Member to Legislative Assembly Questions on Notice 2345 - 2361 asked on 10 June 2014 and Legislative Assembly Questions on Notice 537 - 553 asked on 13 June 2013.
I am not prepared to divert government resources away from their normal duties, when similar questions have already been answered.
If the Honourable Member has a specific query, I will endeavour to provide a reply.
