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) (14:29):</by>  I thank the honourable Deputy Leader of the Opposition for her questions and I am glad they have had a few months off to come up with these killer questions that are very close to bringing the government down. They are great questions, they are a rehash of what they went through last year, very similar questions. I do not have information with me about the details to do with service patches on a computer in an office designed to help workers in the south that they want to close down, but I am happy to go away and find the answers for the questions that the honourable member has asked, including her fixation with service patches.</text>
