REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:43): I have a supplementary question. When does the minister expect the regional statement to be released?

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) (14:43): I think at the time I indicated that it would probably take somewhere between six to 12 months. There needs to be fairly extensive consultation and consideration—

The PRESIDENT: Order! I remind that cameraman that he either train the camera on the person on their feet or he leaves the chamber.

The Hon. G.E. GAGO: As previously indicated, it will probably be somewhere between six and 12 months.
