Mr Speaker, you will doubtlessly recall that I sought your assistance under standing order 105(b) on 9 October to follow up some questions, and I did get a peep out of the Minister for Transport and Regional Services but, to my horror, I overlooked two questions. I would request that you send a letter to the Minister representing the Minister for Justice and Customs in relation to questions Nos 3189 and 3831, which first appeared on the Notice Paper on 8 August, to which I have not received an answer and also question No. 3967, which first appeared on the Notice Paper on 17 August 2006. I would be grateful if you would write to him and seek answers to those questions as soon as possible.

I thank the member for Lowe. Am I right in saying that those last two questions were less than three months ago?

No, Mr Speaker. It was 17 August. It is All Saints Day today, 1 November, and it is All Souls Day tomorrow, 2 November. It has to be more than 60 days, so I can raise the matter any time—you know I am a serial practitioner of this.

I thank the member for Lowe. I think all members are well aware of that. I will follow up his request.
