I do not have an answer to that
question in my file. What date —
Hon Dr Brad Pettitt : It is
question 1009. It was not that long ago—probably the start of the week.
Hon MATTHEW SWINBOURN : I just
do not have an answer. If an answer comes in before the end of question time, I
will provide it, but if not, I will provide it at the next available
opportunity.
