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) (14:50):</by>  I would have to check my records. It has been many years. I have been in parliament now for nine years. I did some media training very early in the piece; I have no idea what the cost was. I am happy to look at those costs. I am fairly confident that I would have paid for it, but I am happy to double-check that and bring back a response.</text>
