On 11 August last year, I lodged a question in writing, question No. 852, to the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts, Mr Garrett, concerning the establishment of a solar power station in Coober Pedy which was to have been completed by Christmas time or the end of the year. On 26 October, I asked you to write to the minister and ask him to answer the question. That still has not occurred. It is now 183 days since I first lodged the question. I would ask you to once again contact the minister and please ask him to respond to my question.

To clarify what the member has said, he was not suggesting that I had not written. I have written and I will write again as required under the standing orders.
