Drought Assistance

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO (15:15): Supplementary: does the minister acknowledge that she does in fact have control over the government's response to drought and flooding arrangements?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:16): At least that question makes sense, as opposed to the interjections of earlier.

The PRESIDENT: Interjections are out of order.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: Indeed, interjections are out of order, thank you, Mr President—

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: —for the reminder, for all of us here in this chamber. I think the government response to a number of difficulties, floods being a particular example that affected so much of our areas, has been significant. We continue to work with industry, and we continue to work with regional communities about the sorts of approaches that will be most useful.
