Question Time

Primary Industries and Regions Department

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:21): My questions are to the Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development regarding FTEs:

1. What is the total current FTE of the Department of Primary Industries and Regions?

2. What is the total current FTE of the Department of Primary Industries and Regions by division?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:21): I thank the honourable member for her question. She is certainly free to look at the budget of the previous government to see what the expected FTEs are. In terms of current FTEs, it will go forward through the budget process. Estimates, of course, is the appropriate time to ask such a question, and I would be pleased to provide information that's available then.

The PRESIDENT: Supplementary question, the Hon. Ms Centofanti, and then I will go to the Hon. Ms Franks.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: I am actually sorry, I didn't hear what you said, the Hon. Ms Franks. Would you like to repeat that?
