I have no idea where the member has got that from. I have not heard anything at all about CERT being closed. It is obviously something she has dreamt up for a little bit of fun. Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich interjected . The PRESIDENT : Order! I have invited Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich before to look at standing order 116. I suggest she do that. Hon HELEN MORTON : I want to make it absolutely clear that at no time in the entire time I have been either parliamentary secretary or a minister have I heard of anything at all about the reduction, closure or anything else to do with the CERT team. Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich has obviously dreamt this up for a little bit of fun to try to get something out of it—God only knows what. I can assure her that nothing with any semblance of what she is talking about is based on reality.
