MINISTER FOR FORESTS
Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg) (14:35): Thank you, that is a beautiful answer too. My question now is to the Minister for Forests. Given that the Minister for Forests told the media this morning that the Treasurer, 'knew things that I didn't and vice versa', can the minister please tell the house what he didn't know but now does and whether that changes any of the statements that he has made publicly or in the house?
Members interjecting:
The SPEAKER: Order!
The Hon. M.F. O'BRIEN (Napier—Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for the Northern Suburbs) (14:36): My learned friend to my left reminded me of a situation with Donald Rumsfeld. I am supposed to explain what I don't know.
Members interjecting:
The SPEAKER: Order!
The Hon. M.F. O'BRIEN: It is a matter that the Treasurer and I have resolved. It was immaterial to deliberations in relation to public comments that have been made.
Members interjecting:
The SPEAKER: Order!
