the rent payable by a lessee for a further rural Crown lease is determined under the same formula of the disallowable instrument.

It is essentially par for the course that every time he opens his mouth he says something that is not true. He has done it again: would I like to explain why the material was not provided to the estimates committee. In fact, the material was provided to the estimates committee, Mr Speaker. It is just that the estimates committee ceased to exist before it was distributed.
