STRATEGIC
CONSERVATION FUND
964. Mr C.J. TALLENTIRE to the
Minister for Environment:
I have a supplementary question. I last raised this issue
with the minister six months ago. He has had six months to collect at least $30
million or $40 million. Why has he not done it yet?

AnswerView source ↗

My answer remains the same.
Mr C.J. Tallentire interjected.
The SPEAKER :
Member for Gosnells, I call you to order for the second time. Minister, do you
want to answer that?
Mr A.P. JACOB : My
answer remains the same. The requirement for contributions to those funds —
Mr C.J. Tallentire interjected.
The SPEAKER :
Member for Gosnells, I call you to order for the third time.
Point of Order
Mrs
M.H. ROBERTS : While the member for Gosnells was asking his question,
and questions are normally asked in silence, the Leader of the National Party
and other people interjected more than once. I note that they have not been
called to order. I am just asking why is there not some balance here.
The
SPEAKER : I will watch the Leader of the National Party, thank you
very much.
