          <by role="member" id="4362">The Hon. J.S. LEE (14:41):</by>  A question arising out of the member's non-answers: the minister mentioned the National Water Initiative and that the information can be extracted from NRM boards. The government indeed has signed those principles to release the setting of water prices and charges. So the government agrees that if the decision was made not to apply these principles in a particular case the reasons for this would be tabled in parliament.</text>

We need to go easy on her. I understand from my colleagues that she is up for a preselection battle this week. Of course, she is one of the most competent Liberals on that side of the bench, which is not a huge claim, in fact, when you look at the quality over there. Out of the whole stream—</text>
