J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:07): When I was out at Findon, which is not that long ago, I think there were about 20 or 30 in that particular parcel that were either complete or very close to complete, but I can double-check that number and get back to the chamber with a—

The Hon. K.J. Maher: And the total number?

The Hon. K.J. Maher: Will you bring back an answer on the 90?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: Yes, I can certainly bring back an answer on the 90, but it will be as of the date at which the question was asked, so things will have progressed since then.
