AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:39): Given the minister's answers, is the minister telling the house that SARDI will receive all proceeds of Flaxley or partial proceeds of Flaxley?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (14:39): Not only did I answer that question today, but I have also provided that information in this place on other occasions. It is really offensive to waste the time of this chamber when I just gave the answer. For goodness sakes, listen. It is just wasting this chamber's time, Mr President—it is offensive.

The Hon. R.L. Brokenshire: In light of the answer they are going to siphon the money off from Flaxley into general revenue rather than it going to SARDI—that's what it will do.

The Hon. I.K. Hunter: That is just wrong. Open your ears and listen to her answer.

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: That's what she said—50 per cent has gone into the big black hole you've developed.

The Hon. G.E. Gago: He said 100 per cent. Open your ears!

The PRESIDENT: Let it go; the Hon. Ms Lensink is waiting for the call.
