          <by role="member" id="3120">Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (15:14): </by> My question is to the Minister for Transport and Minister for Infrastructure. Are any bridge structures below Lock 1 under threat of collapse as a consequence of falling river levels and, if so, what action is the government taking to preserve their structural integrity?</text>

CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Energy) (15:14): </by> I am trying to remember a report I had on a bridge structure on which we are doing some work. I would think we advised you about it. We are doing some work on a bridge structure where, I understand, one of your constituents has been camping on our land for some time and might have to be moved. We had some involvement with you on that matter, didn't we?</text>
