The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:42): Supplementary: can the minister name at least one organisation or individual or stakeholder that she has had correspondence or consultation with on this issue?

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:42): I could name a number of organisations and industry stakeholders who have had correspondence with me about this matter. I don't think it's necessarily—

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: —appropriate to be singling out individuals. People who write to me as minister certainly have the right—

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Ms Bonaros has joined the conversation, but I want to move on after this supplementary.
