OUTBACK COMMUNITIES AUTHORITY

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (14:45): A further supplementary: is there a minimum number of residing members of the OCA that the minister will nominate?

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) (14:45): I have already given the answer. Quite clearly, I said that four out of the seven must have a direct and personal interest in the outback. I have already made that quite clear. The honourable member needs to wash out his ears.
