553. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Attorney General:
I have a supplementary question.
Mr D.J. Kelly : You didn't
know that, did you?
Ms M.J. DAVIES : I can ask the
question without your help, minister; thank you!
Mr D.J. Kelly : I am happy to
give you as much help as you like.
The SPEAKER : Sorry; you will
not be giving any help, thank you, Minister for Water.
Ms M.J. DAVIES : No, I need no help from you!
I
thank the Attorney General for that answer. When will the legislation be
brought to the Parliament for our consideration?

I have it down as a priority at the Parliamentary
Counsel's Office. We are just waiting to get it back. I can assure the
member that it will not take the four years that it took the Liberal coalition
government in Canberra to deal with this important problem. We will have it
before this Parliament presently, but it is not going to dillydally for four
years like it did with the Liberal–National coalition government in
Canberra.
