I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) (a) $80 000; (b) $80 000; (c) $80 000 of which $40 000 has been paid to date. The question did not refer to any period earlier than 2001-02. My recollection is that the amount paid in 1999-2000 was approximately the same. I believe this Government was liable for the same amount the coalition Government was paying. (2) Dr Dunlop is employed by the Conservation Council as its senior fisheries liaison officer to enable the Conservation Council to engage more effectively on fisheries-related issues. He was paid the following amounts: $49 354 in 2001-02; $49 354 in 2002-03; and $49 354 in 2003-04, which represents the budgeted amount. The balance of the $80 000 covered expenditure for travel, superannuation, workers compensation, equipment, administration fees, rent and office outgoings.
