MINISTER FOR REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT — FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST FROM DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND CONSERVATIOn
I ask a supplementary question. Following the earlier involvement of the minister’s office in undermining the chief executive officer of the Department of Environment and Conservation, is this process of positioning an FOI application from the minister’s office part of that process of undermining the Minister for Environment or that department? Mr B.J. GRYLLS

As I said, I am unaware of what the member for Pilbara is talking about. I am aware of the need for the Minister for Environment and I to work very closely with the rest of cabinet and the rest of government to deliver on the government’s regional development agenda, and we are doing just that.
