Sussan Ley (Farrer, Liberal Party, Minister for Health) Share this | Hansard source

The member for Throsby has clearly run out of questions because he is repeating the previous one and I am going to give him a very short answer. The government has, as part of its program, the intention to merge the two authorities. The government continues to take advice, to seek advice and to consult—something that is unfamiliar to members of the Labor Party, but something that is very much a part of our modus operandus. I again come back to my previous comments to the member for Throsby. I know how distressing it is when you do not feel that you know exactly what is going on, but that might be an area that he just has to get used to.

Proposed expenditure agreed to.

Debate adjourned.
