Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (14:24): Supplementary: can the Minister for Health and the Leader of Government Business in the House advise the house whether the government's own 'Regional impact assessment statement policy and guidelines' have been changed?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:25): I am more than happy to get a report back to the house. I can only repeat what I have said, that is, it is not the practice of the government, nor has it ever been of any government in Australia, to release cabinet information.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Kavel will depart the house for the remainder of question time under the sessional order.

The honourable member for Kavel having withdrawn from the chamber:

The SPEAKER: Remember what your father did to the Speaker.
