The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (15:00): Supplementary.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Brokenshire has a supplementary question.

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE: As a supplementary question to the Minister for Regional Development, is the minister concerned that, in the regional impact statement released yesterday, one of the big holes in that regional impact statement that you could drive a truck through is that there was no net cost benefit analysis done by the government before selling and privatising the forward plantations? No net cost benefit analysis.

The PRESIDENT: The honourable minister should ignore the opinion in the question.

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Public Sector Management, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for Gambling) (15:01): Yes, thank you, Mr President. Look, the honourable member makes certain assertions. I am not the minister responsible for leading this project. The details are the responsibility of the minister involved, and I am more than happy to refer those particular questions to the relevant minister and bring back a response.
