The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:53): As a supplementary question: can the minister confirm whether the state government has in fact had any dealings with the federal government to transfer these licences?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister Assisting the Minister for Health) (14:53): To the best of my knowledge, I understand that discussions have occurred with representatives of the federal government for some time now.
