MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:11):</by>  I appreciate that the Leader of the Opposition isn't in a position to be fully abreast of the government's planning. In the event that the government was going to make an announcement at any particular time, we will make it at the time that we see fit. But I would say to the Leader of the Opposition that he act and speak with a degree of caution and not place all his assumptions around a single news report, as credible as Channel 7 news may be.</text>
