As I have previously told the member for Armadale, the full eligibility criteria will be made available when we announce the package. What I am being asked to do — Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, members on my left! Mr M. McGowan : Do you know anything about it? The SPEAKER : Member for Rockingham! Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Order! The members on my left might respect the question asked by a member on their side. I expect an answer from the minister. Mr B.J. GRYLLS : I am being asked to provide the eligibility criteria before the plan has been announced. I will not do that. However, I can assure members that access to the country age pensioner fuel card and the eligibility criteria will be made available by me a hell of a lot faster than it would have been made available if the member for Armadale were still the minister.
