Is this a question without notice? Hon George Cash : Yes, without notice; you know, from me to you! Hon JON FORD : Sometimes it is a question without notice, of which some notice has been given. I thank the member for the question. (1)-(4) If my memory serves me correctly, an arrangement was entered into on this particular wharf in relation to a levy that helped fund it. This matter was raised with me a long time ago. At that stage some negotiations were going on between the Department for Planning and Infrastructure and the Department of Fisheries with the cooperative. I do not know the current status of those negotiations, and the matter has not been raised with me recently. However, I will give an undertaking to find out the current status and get back to the member.
