Cross Border Commissioner

The Hon. B.R. HOOD (15:16): I seek leave to make a brief explanation prior to addressing a question to the Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development on the Cross Border Commissioner.

Leave granted.

The Hon. B.R. HOOD: On 2 May, I asked a question of the minister regarding which regional newspapers have run advertisements for the Cross Border Commissioner role to date. The minister took that question on notice and I received an answer to that today, being:

The Premier has advised: Printed advertising for the Cross Border Commissioner role was placed in regional newspaper [sic] The Border Watch.'

My question to the minister is: can she advise in what edition and on what date that advert appeared in The Border Watch?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:17): I thank the honourable member for his question, but I suggest he looks in the newspaper and finds out for himself. It's on the public record. Do some work!

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!
