HORSERACING

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (14:53): The minister said that she went to the course. I asked a very simple question: is there provision for jumps racing at that course for either racing or training? The minister went there, surely, given the topical—

The PRESIDENT: Order! No explanation. If you want to ask a separate question, that is fine.

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Public Sector Management, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for Gambling) (14:53): No, I am not aware of any jumps facilities at that particular racecourse. It was not discussed with me on the day. There was no reference to jumps racing and I saw no provision for jumps racing at that course.
