Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. The minister failed completely to answer my question, so I will ask it again: will the minister support the coalition’s proposal to provide immediately a $50 million emergency assistance fund to provide immediate assistance to the local people, businesses, community and wildlife of the Lower Lakes, which her party and government are treating with absolute contempt by the decision to not even bother running a candidate in the Mayo by-election?
