          <by role="member" id="4363">The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:09):</by>  Supplementary: where a press conference has exceeded 10 people, what measures are taken to reduce that number to keep it at a 10 maximum? Are those measures the absence of media or the absence of the talking heads of the Marshall government?</text>

          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:09):</by>  I suspect it's probably a matter of both, but as I outlined—not that I am doing daily press conferences; the Minister for Health is and the Premier is. But at the press conferences I do more often than not there is just the one journalist, or sometimes two, with a camera person, and they are pooling and sharing film, and other journalists fire in their questions.</text>
        <text id="202005147b1f4598cdfc40bd80000402">At the most recent press conference I had, the journalist who was there was not particularly interested in a particular issue that another journalist was, so she asked the question on behalf of that journalist, and the footage or the film was shared with that particular news outlet. Again, if there is a particular issue or concern the honourable member has about a particular press conference, rather than dancing around the tulips on this particular issue, the member might like to highlight it, and I will take advice on it.</text>
