Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Is the minister aware of the growing disquiet in the industry in the Northern Territory and in the government about this decision? Haven’t his own colleagues described him as ‘a complete and utter dill’, if I can remember Mr Tollner’s words on radio last week, and further advised others to ignore him? Does the minister think that his decision and the impact on the crocodile safari hunting industry has damaged his ambition to be Treasurer, as was highlighted in this week’s Bulletin?
