National Partnership Agreement on Remote Indigenous Housing

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (14:22): Supplementary.

The PRESIDENT: Mr Hunter, a further supplementary. You did put a proposition in the last supplementary. I hope this one is going to be concise.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: It is very concise, sir. It is simply this: have you or have you not contacted the commonwealth, asking and seeking for a meeting to discuss this issue?

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: Point of order, Mr President: 'have you or have you not' refers to the minister, I believe, not the President, but my interpretation just then was that it referred to the President.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: I will rephrase, Mr President. Has the minister or has she not contacted the commonwealth and sought to have a meeting about this issue?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:23): Mr President, I have nothing further to add.
