The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (15:23): I have a supplementary question. Will the minister rule out the possibility of any SARDI assets being sold off as a side effect of the collaborative arrangement, as the minister has described these negotiations?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (15:23): I have made it very clear that the future model is under review and that no final model has been determined. Again, this is an old question that the Hon. John Dawkins has asked in this place before.

The Hon. J.S.L. Dawkins: No, it's not.

The Hon. G.E. GAGO: If it wasn't you, it was one of your colleagues. I have answered this question several times before. I have always answered the question in detail and given an open and honest answer. The negotiations continue. No decision has been made about any sale or transfer of assets and the dialogue continues.
