AnswerView source ↗
I was sure Hon Jim Scott asked the question of the appropriate minister. Hon Jim Scott: The problem is that it crosses over two ministers. The PRESIDENT: We are just grateful that the appropriate minister has recognised the appropriate question. Hon KIM CHANCE: I have in part, but I am afraid that the member will not be very happy with the answer. (1) The high oil quality mallee seed at Manjimup seed orchard was provided to the Forest Products Commission - I can answer that part of the question - for storage by the Department of Conservation and Land Management. I understand the seed was collected from CALM-managed seed orchards. (2)-(3) As the member might have expected, he is requested to refer this portion of the question to the Minister for the Environment, who is responsible for CALM.
