Does the minister believe that Peri Coleman is receiving payments to raise concerns about the mangrove deaths? With your leave, and that of the house, I will explain.</text>

SPEIRS (Black—Minister for Environment and Water) (14:51):</by>  I have no idea whether she is receiving payment from anyone in the community or the NGO sector or not. She may well be, but I'm not aware of that. Maybe the deputy leader should ask Peri Coleman that question, not me.</text>
