Nothing has been brought to me to take to cabinet— Mr Hamilton-Smith interjecting: The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: No—to take to cabinet. This is exactly the same as what I said yesterday, what I said last week. You can go on about it as much as you want, but that is the simple fact: nothing has changed. Members interjecting: The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: Madam Speaker, it is a bit hard for me to give an answer when I am being screamed down by the opposition. The simple fact is that nothing has changed. This is not a matter that has been brought to me to take something to cabinet. Yes, it is something that has been previously foreshadowed in the budget papers, as I said last week; but, no, it is not a matter which I have made a decision on and it is not a matter which has been taken to cabinet for a decision. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! Mr Williams interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Member for MacKillop, order!
