FRANKS (14:54):</by>  A supplementary: if the Leader of the Opposition in this place isn't willing to put a letter together simply to secure the future of the third largest town in this state, I am happy to pencil together a letter for him to sign and send. Will he show leadership and do that to support the town of Whyalla?</text>
