SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:08):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her supplementary question. We work as a team in government and so today, when it became evident what Rex Airlines' announcement was, I discussed this matter with a number of my ministerial colleagues and it was agreed that Minister Bettison would make those initial calls. I also raised this in a recent meeting with Minister Catherine King when I was in Canberra before, obviously, the announcement by Rex yesterday.</text>
