          <by role="member" id="1812">The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL:</by>  We have booked the saving to the budget. It is something that has been the subject of comment that the Thinkers in Residence program has been wound up. I know those opposite do not study the material very closely, but it was published and it is a government decision, so I think it really does demonstrate the complete sloppiness and lack of preparation that go into the opposition's preparation for question time.</text>
