I have a supplementary question. Given the unravelling of the Burrup Peninsula native title agreement, how much of this fund will go into resurrecting that agreement? Mr E.S. RIPPER

The Burrup native title agreement has not unravelled. At the time it was made, it was the largest and most comprehensive native title deal to have been engaged in by any government in this country. It has now been superseded in scale and commitment by another native title agreement that this government has entered into; that is, the Ord River agreement. These are the two largest native title deals to have been done by any government in this state. If we had not done that deal, we would have jeopardised the economic development of the state. Is the opposition committed to the prosperity and economic development of this state? It appears from the attitude of members opposite to native title that the opposition is threatening the development of our state.
