The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD (14:25): Supplementary: you mentioned the prospective debts that may be incurred. What about those that have already been incurred? What is the plan? What is your expectation?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:25): I thank the honourable member for his question. As I said in the original answer to the original question, there have been some announcements that have been made this morning while we have been at parliament. There will be further announcements about how state and federal governments will look to support particularly, as I said, those small creditors and often locally based creditors, but there will be further announcements about how the state and federal government will support them.
