The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:30): Can the minister advise the house when the decision to do away with the very impressive government box was made, given that I have had an FOI in for some time and can't get a response?

GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (14:30): It was part of budget discussions, which are recent discussions that have been had over the last number of weeks. It was just really part of our budget discussions.

The PRESIDENT: In the box, yes.

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: I suppose you could understand what they were saying anyway.
