The minister did not say that. The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: I am just asking a question. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: No; you are trying to put words in the minister's mouth. The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: No, I am not. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: The minister did not say that. He quite clearly answered that part— The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: Would you like to ask the question for me, Mr President? The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: The minister quite clearly answered that part of the question. The Hon. R.I.
