I thank the member for some notice of this question. On Thursday, 15 November 2001 - my birthday - the Leader of the Opposition asked me two questions about my visit to Carnarvon on 9 and 10 November 2001. I advised that it was a ministerial visit, undertaken in my capacity as Minister for Local Government and Regional Development; Kimberley, Pilbara and Gascoyne. I told the Leader of the Opposition that I represented the Premier at a function on the Friday evening and opened the Bitter Victory exhibition. On the Saturday morning, I officially participated in the opening of the HMAS Sydney Memorial Avenue. At that time I advised the Leader of the House that I did other things as well. (1) Yes. (2) (a) The cost was met by my ministerial office. (b) $100.44. Hon Norman Moore: I was hoping that you would say that. Hon TOM STEPHENS: $100.44? Hon Norman Moore: No; your ministerial office. The PRESIDENT: Order!
