I would like to add to an answer that I gave to the member for New England. I have been informed since I answered that question that in fact agreement has been reached between the parliamentary secretary and the New South Wales minister. The parliamentary secretary has written to me and, subject to my being satisfied with the arrangement, it will be okayed and will go ahead.
