Planning:
I have a supplementary question.
Is the minister simply fattening up PEXA to make a
windfall gain when the government sells its share in the business?

No.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : I call both the Minister for Mines and Petroleum and the Minister for
Emergency Services to order for the first time.
Ms R. SAFFIOTI : No, but does she want
me to refer this issue to another place? Does she think this is worth further
investigation? Do you, member for Scarborough? It is your deal. Do you want me
to refer it to another place?
The SPEAKER : Member, you will not call the member ''she''; it is the
member for Scarborough.
Ms R. SAFFIOTI : If the member for Scarborough thinks there
is something improper about this, I will refer it to another place and we will
investigate how it was set up under the previous government. Does the member
for Scarborough want me to do that?

Ms R. SAFFIOTI : The member for Scarborough obviously does.
