Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to point out that in fact my reference was to the issue and the topic of community empowerment. I made no reference to any person or position, and I was asking the Premier for the government's position, and himself as Premier, and also, I would like to note that the Premier indicated in his reply that the odd time it is necessary to go south. Sixty percent, or three of the last five positions, seems very odd, extremely odd, in fact, not odd any, it is beyond odd, and the issue of debate. I am interested in debate, but can the Minister tell us, while we wait for this debate and the government continues to hire south, we are in a no-win situation as Ordinary Members. How do we reconcile that, again, when we are talking about a debate on a policy, when the government has shown by its record that it does not seem to be, at the senior level, that committed to the very issue that they want everyone else to take deeply to heart, including industry and mining, such as BHP? Thank you.
