Let me try to take another tack. Mr B.J. Grylls : $2.5 billion in royalties - no housing, no land, no health delivery and no education. Several members interjected. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : How long have I got, Mr Speaker? Mr B.J. Grylls interjected. The SPEAKER : Order! I know the Leader of the National Party has asked the question and I know he likes hearing his voice; however, the Premier has not uttered a word and the Leader of the National Party has spoken for about five minutes. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : The Leader of the National Party is an enthusiastic participant in public debate. When he has been around a little longer to educate himself sufficiently, he will start making some sensible comments instead of the nonsense he is spouting at the moment.
