(1)–(2) I
have not had any conversation with the member for Victoria Park, and I do not
look to have one. I do not know whether what the member said is true. I have
not had any conversation with the member. He did make in this house a comment
about what I said to the media yesterday about that streetlight tariff.
Mr
B.S. Wyatt : Yes, in Parliament of course.
Dr
M.D. NAHAN : In Parliament, yes, of course; otherwise I have had no
communication with the member on that matter. By the way, the member was wrong
on that. But as to the question, I do not know; I have not had a conversation
with the member, as the member knows I have not.
