Personal Explanation

MARINE PARKS (PARLIAMENTARY SCRUTINY) AMENDMENT BILL

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg) (10:50): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

Ms CHAPMAN: Near to the close of business last night—in fact, a few minutes before 6 o'clock—the house was considering the marine parks bill. In the course of that debate I made a contribution, and in that contribution I indicated that I had forwarded correspondence to the former minister responsible for the then department for environment and heritage, followed by further correspondence since the election to the current minister, the Hon. Paul Caica. The minister requested that I provide copies of that correspondence.

I rise to advise the house that, in fact, that correspondence went to the previous director of the coast and marine conservation branch of the then department for environment and heritage, and subsequently to an officer of the department and not the minister. So I advise the house that the correspondence was sent to the department and not to the minister. I have copies of that correspondence, which I will make available to the Hon. Paul Caica.
