          <by role="member" id="5412">The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:32):</by>  I thank the Leader of the Opposition for her question. Today is 2 June and 2 June is, indeed, budget day, and the budget is handed down at 3 o'clock. According to our clock here it is 2.32, so my understanding is that the budget has not yet been handed down.</text>
        <text id="20220602df6e4c42f9254e7ea0000387">I must admit when I came to this place I did not expect to be giving directions and instruction about how to read a calendar or, indeed, how to read a clock, but it seems that that might be what is required, when we see this line of questioning, not just today but over the last few days as well. In terms of the budget, we look forward—all of us—to seeing that budget when it is handed down later today.</text>
