Written responses

The PRESIDENT (12:40): Minister Symes will get answers from the Minister for Agriculture in line with the standing orders for both of Ms Purcell’s questions.

Georgie Crozier: On a point of order, President, I just seek your guidance, please, in relation to the minister’s response to my supplementary. It was a very simple question around how many trainee call takers Triple Zero Victoria could have employed with the price of over $100,000, as in my substantive question. The minister failed to answer that question, and I am wondering –

Members interjecting.

Georgie Crozier: To have it reinstated – she did not answer the question.

The PRESIDENT: I am happy to review that in Hansard and get back to the chamber before the end of the day.

Nick McGowan: On a point of order, President, I would likewise request that you look at the supplementary question I asked in respect to the closure of TAFEs. I do not think that question was answered either. If you could review that, that would be much appreciated.

The PRESIDENT: Yes, Mr McGowan, I am happy to review that. I think there is this thing that happens in here when Minister Tierney is on her feet – a lot of noise comes from one direction. And probably as a badge of honour for you, when you are on your feet, there seems to be a lot of noise coming from the other direction. It was very hard to hear it all, so I will review it and get back to you.
