I would like to get some further clarification about the Public Works Committee. I am not on the Public Works Committee, but I understand they only kick in and look at work to be built by the Commonwealth if it is above a certain threshold. I am not entirely sure what that threshold is, but I am pretty sure it would not be the cost of a house on a community—I am pretty sure it would be many more hundreds of thousands of dollars beyond that. Minister, I still ask what it is you might envisage you would build on a community that would exceed that large amount of money and that this would prohibit the Public Works Committee from looking at.
