The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (15:11): I have a supplementary question.

The PRESIDENT: I hope it is a genuine supplementary this time.

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE: It is a bona fide supplementary, given the minister's first answer. My question is: can the minister confirm to the house, given the objection to the proposed biosecurity fees, that up to $3 million has been put into the cost of PIC and NLIS fees and associated administration to offset the amount of money that your office is looking at for biosecurity fees?

The PRESIDENT: The honourable member must have learnt some bad habits in the other place as far as supplementaries go. There is no explanation on supplementaries in this house.

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (15:12): As I said, I do not have any funding details with me. I am happy to take questions around detailed funding on notice and bring back a response.
