AnswerView source ↗
It is very nice to see Hon Christine Sharp in the Chamber. I have always said that when Parliament is sitting, members should be in the Chamber. There is never any excuse for members not being here. I think that is what the opposition frontbench members always say - Several members interjected. The PRESIDENT: Order, members! We can all agree with the minister’s sentiments. Perhaps he will now answer the question. Hon TOM STEPHENS: The answer provided by the minister is as follows - (1) Yes, dated 18 August 2003. (2) See paper No 1407. (3) No. (4) The Minister for the Environment will reply as part of an appeal determination. (5) No, see response to (2). (6) Yes the minister is aware that Hon John Halden is making these representations. However, the member should not be misled by that answer into thinking that her presupposition contained in her question is correct. The member’s presupposition is not correct. There is no application of a policy to that former member. However, the minister is aware that John Halden is making the representations for Cable Sands. (7) No.
