J.M.A. LENSINK Legislative Council The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: Well, I think they have extrapolated what was said and done their own back-of-envelope calculations— The Hon. K.J.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK Legislative Council The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: Well, the honourable member— The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Order! Members on my left will not allow the minister to answer a supplementary that has been asked by one of their colleagues. The minister has the call, and I would very much like to get to the next question. The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK Legislative Council The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: In terms of the timing of payments and so forth, those things are matters that the contractors will seek their invoices from the Housing Authority. Some of that timing we don't have any control over, but they know that they will be paid and that they will be paid quickly, which is a commitment that we have made as a government across government—that anybody who invoices the government should be paid within a short period of time.
