Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:21): A supplementary.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Ridgway, have your supplementary but I would like to be able to hear it, so if all others could be quiet while you do it, go for it.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: My question was to the minister as the Leader of the Government and every now and then Acting Premier. Do you support the withdrawal of this funding by your government from the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:21): I have already answered the question. I am not going to make any comments on things that he quotes that we often find out the Liberals misquote in any event.
