POTATO INDUSTRY

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:42): It's a repeat of my first question.

The PRESIDENT: It's not a supplementary then.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: Has the minister spoken to Mondello Farms, the receiver's staff, employers or suppliers—

The PRESIDENT: The minister has answered your first question.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: She did not.

The PRESIDENT: Well, how is it a supplementary?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: She didn't. It is arising out of the non-answer, Mr President.

The PRESIDENT: If it's a non-answer, it can't be a supplementary.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: You are getting grumpy today.

The PRESIDENT: Supplementaries have to arise out of an answer. The minister has answered it.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: Have you spoken to Mondello Farms? Now she is on the phone to Mondello Farms, by the looks.

The PRESIDENT: Minister, help the Hon. Mr Ridgway.

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (14:42): I apologise, Mr President, for not addressing it. I have, in fact, met with potato producers and I have, in fact, visited potato producers. So, I have, in fact, on a number of occasions met with producers.
