Mr Speaker, the member is referring to letters back in 2010 and — Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : The member for Armadale has asked the question; nobody else has asked the question. Member for Albany, I formally call you to order for the first time today. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : The member for Armadale is referring to letters that were sent to me back in December of last year, I think it was, or the latter part of last year, and further ones that I responded to, I believe the member is saying, in January of this year. That is some months ago, quite frankly. Several members interjected. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I get hundreds of questions from members opposite every day of the week—every single day of the week — Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Armadale, you have asked a supplementary question. You are getting an answer at the moment. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : If the member was really serious about getting an accurate answer, he would have given me some notice of the question so that I could provide him with an accurate answer. The trouble is I get questions—not from the member for Armadale, I have to say; I respect him—from the member for Girrawheen, and they bear no resemblance to the truth whatsoever; and she asked me some a couple of weeks ago, and I will come to that in due time. But I will get back to the member for Armadale with the answers to the questions that he asked today, for sure.
