SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:07):</by>  I think preparedness really speaks for itself, and the question is quite remarkable and I can't say that is a positive thing. To hear those opposite asking why are we talking about preparedness now—well, the question from the Hon. Ms Lensink asked the specific question about the Future Drought Fund, so I answered the question about the Future Drought Fund. If the honourable member doesn't want to hear about the Future Drought Fund, she shouldn't ask a question about it.</text>
