GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (15:05):</by>  I have not indicated that I have had any discussions. What I have indicated is that, in terms of the preliminary information that I have, there is some interest. It is of a very general nature; I have no details. It is only very general, and I do not have any details at all that I am aware of. But I think it is a disgrace. I will say it again: it is an absolute disgrace that the opposition comes into this place and talks down this state, talks down potential investors in this state and scares off business interests, because this is the way they are treated. This is the way potential investors are treated—named in this place, shamed in this place and have this snide innuendo that something that they are doing is completely improper. They are a disgrace.</text>
