Primary Industries and Regions Department

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:22): Can the minister explain why she just directed a member of the Legislative Council to ask a question in a forum that the Legislative Council member has no role in?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:22): I think I suggested that that was the appropriate forum rather than directing the Leader of the Opposition, but I am fairly confident that she is a member of a party that has quite a strong role in estimates.
