The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:50): Supplementary: if the government or a national committee moved to a management strategy, will businesses still be compensated for their loss?

The PRESIDENT: I am not sure that arises from the original answer, but you are on your feet, minister, if you would like to answer it, please.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:51): Yes, actually I am not sure that it does. My concern is more that this is speculating, 'What if this?', 'What if that?', 'What if that?' so I think it's a hypothetical question.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Pangallo, a final supplementary question.

The Hon. N.J. Centofanti: Tens of millions of dollars.

The PRESIDENT: Order!
