I have not been keen to build homes out there; I have actually been keen to see the expression and the desire of the locals fulfilled—that is, for them to own their own homes. It is not my desire; it is theirs. My job is to try and help facilitate that. Yes, four houses have been built there. I know this question was asked in Senate estimates. My understanding is that the cost for some of those houses has not yet been fully determined because they are in dispute with one of the builders or one of the suppliers, I am not sure which. The associate secretary of my department, Mr Wayne Gibbons, I think gave such advice and has taken that question on notice from your colleague in the Senate and no doubt will make that information available as soon as he can.
