GAGO (Minister for State/Local Government Relations, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Energy) (14:41):</by>  I have answered the question very clearly. If the court decides to set aside my decision then I will delegate the responsibility to minister Hill and he will deal with the matter in a way that he sees fit. He will be renewing the decision afresh. It would be completely inappropriate for me to be directing another minister as to the time frame. It is ridiculous; the Hon. David Ridgway is being completely irresponsible. I have stated very clearly that this government has prioritised this issue. We think it is an important issue and we believe it is in the public interest to expedite this matter.</text>
