CENTOFANTI:</by>  This chamber set a clear direction on 16 October that harmful algal bloom documents must be tabled within seven sitting days. That deadline was today. The Deputy Premier has advised the chamber that he will table the material on Thursday, the final day of a sitting year, which is two days beyond the deadline set by this council. My question to the Deputy Premier is: why is the government waiting until the last possible sitting day to table documents this chamber required to be produced today?</text>
