The Hon. J.E. HANSON (14:49): Supplementary: minister, how much money would fit into the category of waste for maintenance work that had to be redone or appliances that couldn't be installed?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:49): There would be very little that is wasted in that regard. There will sometimes be things that need to be redone.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: But we have a huge amount of money that we are spending on maintenance, a huge amount of money—

The Hon. I.K. Hunter: Huge. Tell us the amount. Tell us the amount of waste.

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: In terms of works that have to be redone, I would imagine that is quite small.
