MR STEVENSON: I wonder - - -

Mr De Domenico: Here we go. No rhetorical laughter, please.

MR STEVENSON: Do not say anything funny. Mrs Grassby, would you please refrain from making any comments, lest I start laughing and lest Mr Berry says something nasty about me tomorrow. I read this and I wondered what the determined fee might be.

Mr Wood: May I answer you now?

MR STEVENSON: Rhetorically, yes.

MR WOOD (Minister for Education and Training, Minister for the Arts and Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning) (5.15): Madam Speaker, it will come before the Assembly. It is to be determined. That is the sort of thing that we have to do in the next six months that I have been talking about. It is a commonplace occurrence. It happens all the time in legislation. I am sure we are all well aware of it, including Mr Stevenson.

MR STEVENSON (5.15): I wonder whether I should say thank you for indicating that there is no determined fee yet - that was my rhetorical question - and that the fee situation is going to be presented to the Assembly. We will debate it and toss them all around.
