PERRY LAKES STADIUM, HOUSING PRECINCT REDEVELOPMENT
As a supplementary question, has the Minister for Sport and Recreation in any way approached the minister or her staff to seek a delay to this amendment and to pressure the Town of Cambridge into funding athletics and other facilities outside the Town of Cambridge? Dr Gallop: What a terrible question! Mr BARNETT: That is the whole point of the question. Ms MacTIERNAN

I am happy to make very public in this place the fact that this Government operates as a team. It is certainly true that we speak to each other on a whole raft of issues and we ensure that we have a whole-of-government approach. We will not sit in our own little empires and make unsound decisions. As I should, I have had discussions with a wide variety of ministers on planning matters when they affect their portfolio areas. Mr Barnett: So you admit delaying it. Ms MacTIERNAN: I do admit that I speak with my cabinet colleagues.
