The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:13): Supplementary question: is the minister indicating that the statement he made—because this is a question that might be the subject of a misleading the parliament motion—is he indicating whether or not his statement yesterday was accurate, and that he had a conversation with minister Hamilton-Smith about applications being open?

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The minister says he has answered it, but can I just make it clear that the Hon. Mr Lucas has the right to get up and ask a question, no matter how many times he asks the question, in silence. The Hon. Mr Ngo.
