On behalf of the Minister for Housing and Works, I thank the member for the question; however, I doubt he will thank me much for the answer.

Accordingly, the Treasurer is not prepared to devote the required resources to this task at this time. (4) Please refer the question to the Minister for Local Government and Regional Development.
