AnswerView source ↗
This question was first provided on
17 March. At that time it was not possible to get an answer in the time
available and I have not had an update on it. I will pursue it and give an
answer tomorrow if one is available. I draw the member's attention to
the fact that the Leader of the Opposition in the other place asked an almost
identical question on notice of the minister representing me on 15 March and
that might provide the answer.
Hon Sally Talbot : I would not know about that.
Hon MICHAEL MISCHIN : I am drawing the member's
attention to it. Otherwise, I will pursue this to see whether there is an
answer available that I can provide tomorrow with the relevant figures, if they
have been ascertained in the meanwhile.
