(1)–(3) If the member had listened to my previous answer
to the Leader of the Opposition's question, I think I said that they
would be released very shortly—incredibly shortly; after question time
actually. Members opposite will receive them very shortly. They will be
given a briefing on regulations, which is highly unusual.
Ms L. Mettam interjected.
The SPEAKER : Order, please.
Dr
A.D. BUTI : A consultation period
is being allowed on the regulations, which are not complex or overly extensive and, we believe, are sufficient. This has been discussed for a number of
months.
