Drought Assistance

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:30): Supplementary: is the minister suggesting that it would be appropriate that I provide private information, in terms of farmers who are still requiring payments, in this chamber?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:30): Although I am not sure that went from the original answer, what I am suggesting is that, if she is serious about actually getting an alleged problem addressed, she needs to provide the information. She is more than welcome to provide that to my office. A general 'farmer's fodder' is not answering the questions that I have just asked.

I can only assume from the member's statements of outrage that she doesn't actually know the answer to the question. Is she talking about farmers or individuals who have a relationship with a charity, who have not been reimbursed for something? In that case, it is between the charity and the farmers. Or is she talking about some other matter? If she wants to be specific, I am more than happy to provide whatever information is available.
