MRS GRASSBY: Thank you, Mr Kaine. No, I have not had any results yet. I am getting a report done on it, and as soon as the report is available I would be very happy for you to have a look at it.
MR KAINE: I have a supplementary question, Mr Speaker. Could you tell me when that is likely to be? This was a response to some public criticism, and I hope it was nothing more than that. I would just like to know when we can expect to have some of the results.
MRS GRASSBY: After the proceedings today, I will ask my department how much longer it will be and tell you at question time tomorrow.
Murrumbidgee River Corridor
MR JENSEN: Mr Speaker, my question is also directed to the Minister for Housing and Urban Services. I refer the Minister to a draft management plan for the Murrumbidgee River corridor which was dated February 1988. Just for the Minister's information, it is a white-covered document with red writing on the front.

MRS GRASSBY: The draft plan was released in June 1988. Fifty-seven submissions were received.

MR JENSEN: I have a supplementary question, Mr Speaker. Are the details of that final plan, to which the Minister just referred, to be provided to the people who participated in it at any stage?
MRS GRASSBY: Not until it is tabled under, I understand, the conservation Act.
