Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:51): Supplementary: will the minister make an inquiry as to whether that has already been estimated—as our understanding is that it is up to 18 months—and report back to the house?

The Hon. P. Caica interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Colton is called to order. Minister.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:51): In order to furnish the information to the house that I just spoke about, I would need to make an inquiry. I do not necessarily agree with her supposition that any decision has been made about the accessibility of thoroughfares.

Ms Chapman: That's what I'm asking.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Well, the deputy leader says, 'That's what I'm asking.' No, that is not what she was asking. She was inferring that decisions had already been made and time frames had already been set.

Ms Chapman: No, I didn't.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Yes, you did, indeed, and what I am putting to the house, Mr Speaker, is that I think that it is a little early to come to that conclusion.

Ms CHAPMAN: Point of order.

The SPEAKER: If it be a point of order.

Ms CHAPMAN: As the minister clearly had not understood my question in respect—

The SPEAKER: That is not a point of order.

Ms CHAPMAN: A further supplementary?

The SPEAKER: Oh, dear! The deputy leader is on two warnings already and has just committed a sin of a bogus point of order.

Ms CHAPMAN: Well, I am seeking a further supplementary, sir. That is what I am asking for.

The SPEAKER: Go ahead.
