What number is at the top? You have eight questions all about
the same, so it should have ''123'' or ''124''.
Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : I don't know. That one didn't
have a number. We don't have numbers.
Hon PETER COLLIER : I thank the honourable member for the
question. The member has eight questions that are very similar.
Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : Yes, I know, but they are all from the
same table, minister. So I will give you a copy of the question to help you
along.
Hon PETER COLLIER : All we need is the actual number.
Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : We don't have a number; we've
never had numbers.
The PRESIDENT : Order! I think you will
find the numbers are allocated to a question after it has been asked.
Hon PETER COLLIER : I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The information requested cannot be provided in the time
available.
Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich :
Don't you know exactly how many there are?
The PRESIDENT : Order!
Hon PETER COLLIER : If I can get a word in, as always, I
will provide this information to the honourable member by 20 June 2013 so she
does not have to put it on notice. I am very accommodating. I continue —
(2) Yes.
(3) One hundred and twenty.
(4) Not applicable.
