I do not know whether this was the question of which notice was given at the last meeting of the house. Hon Ken Travers : It is a different one. Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : It is a different one but very similar. Hon Ken Travers : Similar but different. Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : Very similar, and it is not the one that he put on notice in this exact wording. Hon Ken Travers : No. Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : Okay. This must be the one, then, in this wording — Hon Ken Travers : You said you could answer me any time, anywhere, so I am now asking you to answer it. Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : The time and place is here. This must be the one of which the member gave notice on Thursday, 26 November. Is that the one? Hon Ken Travers : That is right, and the kind President — Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : The one that the member did not ask on 26 November and then later on in the day, in my absence from the house, accused me of avoiding. That is the one. Hon Ken Travers : I was told by your fellow ministers — The PRESIDENT : Order! Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : Then I shall provide the answer in this hallowed chamber. (1) Yes.
