AnswerView source ↗
I think this is a question that was asked by Hon Paul Llewellyn yesterday. Hon Paul Llewellyn : No. Hon KIM CHANCE : No? Okay. It must have been a very similar one. I thank Hon Paul Llewellyn for the question. However, it is not possible to provide a response in the time available. I ask the member to place the question on notice. Hon Paul Llewellyn : That is the pattern. Hon KIM CHANCE : Hang on. Hon Barry House : That is the standard answer. Hon KIM CHANCE : Wait a minute. I have not finished yet. It is unclear to what the honourable member is referring. However, bioenergy matters are generally dealt with by the Minister for Industry and Enterprise, not the Minister for Energy. Therefore, the question may be better directed to the Minister for Industry and Enterprise. I know that it is the same person, but it is a matter of going to the right department so that the minister can be advised. I advise Hon Paul Llewellyn to discuss this question with me and Hon Fran Logan. The minister is unaware of any consultancies of the nature to which the member has referred and thinks that the member may be referring to an area under my jurisdiction in relation to the Biofuels Taskforce. I invite Hon Paul Llewellyn to discuss that matter with me and Hon Fran Logan.
