Mr Stevenson: NSAIDs. It was on 60 Minutes a few weeks back.
MR HUMPHRIES: I could talk about 60 minutes, but perhaps I had better not. Mr Speaker, the answer to the first part of the question is no; the answer to the second is that I do not know; and the answer to the third is that I do not know. I will take those questions on notice. I might say to Mr Stevenson, though, that, if he wants to ask what are obviously quite technical questions about things like drugs, free-range eggs and things of that kind, I think he would be better advised to come and see me beforehand, as Mr Moore has done today, to indicate even the general area that he intends to ask a question about. I would then be better able to come into this place and actually answer his question. But I cannot, obviously, provide the information about this at the moment.
Intoxicated Persons Legislation
MR JENSEN: Mr Speaker, my question is directed to the Attorney-General, Mr Collaery. I will refer the Minister to clause 6 of the Intoxicated Persons (Care and Detention) Bill 1991, introduced by Mr Berry on Wednesday of this week. Would the Attorney, who is responsible for the Government response to that particular Bill, care to comment on whether, in fact, that clause is likely to be a threat to civil liberties?
Mr Berry: Mr Speaker, I raise a point of order. I think that the question is out of order. This Minister does not have the responsibility for the Bill.
Mr Moore: Are you prepared to take it?
Mr Berry: I am prepared to take it.
MR SPEAKER: Order! Your objection is upheld, Mr Berry. The situation, Mr Collaery, is that this is a debate that is already before the house.
Commissioner for Housing Loans Scheme
MRS GRASSBY: My question is to the Chief Minister. Have you, as Treasurer, provided any supplementation to the Commissioner for Housing loans scheme to fund the increased maximum loan level announced yesterday by Mr Collaery?
MR KAINE: The answer to the question is no. There was funding originally in the budget for this purpose and that will suffice.
