MR SMYTH: Not for five years—how long?

Mr Barr: I worked for him for about 18 months when he was the minister.

MR SMYTH: That is only 18 months; I do apologise. It is only 18 months but it was 18 months in which the drought deepened and obviously the former minister responsible for the maintenance of ovals said nothing about it; the new minister will do nothing about it. We need ideas and the minister must respond with not just cuts otherwise the tag “ministry for cuts” will stick. Andrew Scissorhands will go down in history as the minister who cut everything he touched.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

The Assembly adjourned at 6.38 pm.
