I think it is a reasonable question, which is why I made the offer. I will try to answer it as a member of cabinet who attends these functions. The criteria for inviting those people to community functions, particularly the morning or afternoon teas, however relevant, are that they are mostly representatives of community volunteer-type organisations. The number of guests varies according to the location, but is between 100 and 300 people on occasions. I do not know the approximate cost, but it would be minimal because, basically, it covers tea and biscuits, and so is fairly modest. The question of the electorates and dates has caused the Department of the Premier and Cabinet some work. However, 40 such functions have occurred during the terms of the Gallop and Carpenter governments, all the way from the electorate of Kimberley to the electorate of Roe.
