I refer to the election commitment that the Barnett Government will introduce new heritage laws. Given that widespread consultation has already taken place, I ask:
(a) when does the Minster anticipate that the Bill will be introduced into Parliament; and
(b) will the Bill contain provision for some kind of State intervention where demolition by neglect of heritage property is occurring?
