responsible for the implementation, monitoring, evaluation and review of the Decade of Landcare Plan. Do you consider it appropriate that a final version of a document that is made up by people who are not members of the bureaucracy can be changed, if it was changed, by the bureaucracy and then tabled by you? Do you think something out of order has occurred? What action are you taking to ensure that that is not the case and to inform members after this Assembly rises?
MR WOOD: Mr Speaker, I do not know that it is out of order. This Government, as did the former governments, and all governments commission a large number of reports on a wide range of subjects, and ultimately those reports are the property of the Government. I want to clarify a matter. In a sense, I have a supplementary answer for Mr Jensen. Perhaps I misunderstood him in the first instance. I do not know precisely from memory what I said when I tabled that report but - - -
Mr Jensen: You did not say anything.
MR WOOD: Yes, I think I just tabled it. But certainly, as that report came to me, the attached briefing note made comment on any changes to it. So, I should be clear about that.
Mr Jensen: You told us that you did not know about the change.
MR WOOD: Perhaps I misunderstood your question, Mr Jensen. You had a fairly long wrap-up to it, just as Mr Moore did. This is now a report of the Government. The Government considers the report. It is a report upon which we will act. I indicated that I was considering it, and we will come up with a decision on how this may be progressed. That is what I will do.
Ms Follett: Mr Speaker, I ask that further questions be placed on the notice paper.
Casino Project
MS FOLLETT: On 12 December Mr Jensen asked me about the interim planning legislation and the casino. I have a fairly lengthy answer which I will provide to Mr Jensen. I seek leave to have the answer incorporated in Hansard.
Leave granted.
