The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:29): Supplementary: once the trial is completed and if those extremely positive-looking results are confirmed, will the minister be formally writing to federal colleagues in support of further funding?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:30): I think that is a speculative and hypothetical question which—correct me if I'm wrong, Mr President—is against standing orders; is that correct?

The PRESIDENT: Minister, you can have a crack at answering, or you don't have to.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: I think speculating about the outcomes of a trial is not a wise path to take.
