The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (16:29): Supplementary: is the minister suggesting that she is only responsible for fish stocks once they have been significantly depleted, as she has just stated to the chamber?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (16:30): I see, Mr President, you are shaking your head. I am inclined to shake my head as well, in terms of what a strange question that is. I think it's really pretty unworthy of an answer in many ways. I think it's clear what the responsibilities are as a minister.
