I think Senator Heffernan is only too well aware that I am representing Minister Ferguson here. The matter he has raised, I believe, is essentially a state jurisdiction; it is not surprising that I should not have a brief on that matter. I am not aware of any conversations that have been had between the minister and the New South Wales government on this matter. I will endeavour to establish what has been said.
