Parliamentary Reform

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:23): I have a supplementary question. Given the minister's original answer and her complaint earlier on in this day's sitting that she had to table something that was available online, will she undertake that if a backbencher from her own party asks her question and the answer is available online, she will refer them to that instead of giving an answer here?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:23): I do regularly, so the honourable member needs to get online and not waste trees by insisting that we table documents that are already in the public realm and are already online, so that we do not have to chop down more trees to stroke the egos of members in this place.
