          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:00):</by>  I don't believe I have met with the Master Builders Association since that particular meeting, but I have certainly met with the Master Builders Association and a range of other groups, both supportive of the Coroner's recommendations and opposing the Coroner's recommendations, formally and informally, between the period of the Coroner's recommendations and the particular meeting to which the member refers.</text>
        <text id="201907238f8398a4711748e390000180">Any number of people in any number of different fora have put particular points of view to me, and one of those groups would have been the Master Builders Association at some particular time. The meeting may well not have been specifically in relation to this issue. I have meetings with various stakeholder groups on a range of issues. It may well have been previously that they might have raised the issue. They might have raised the issue previously when we were having discussions about a whole range of issues, in particular in relation to things like stamp duty concessions and the construction industry generally—the sort of general issues that the Master Builders tend to raise with the government and the treasurer of the day.</text>
