The Hon. J.S. LEE (Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:49): Supplementary: can the minister explain, then, the issues taken from country cabinet? What process will the government undertake to solve the problems as raised by the community?

The Hon. R.P. Wortley: More process than you had. You cancelled it.

The PRESIDENT: Minister, would you like the Hon. Mr Wortley to answer or would you like to have a go?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:49): I am happy to. Of course, we all operate as a team here, so I am always more than happy to have the assistance of the Hon. Mr Wortley and all of my other colleagues here on this side of the chamber. In terms of the issues that are taken from country cabinet, they are referred directly to either the minister and/or the department that has relevant responsibility.
