Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I appreciate the minister’s undertaking. I would like to also know whether the minister would be concerned if the reports are correct and that, in fact, sniffable fuel is available at Ti Tree, in particular, which is just near Tennant Creek. As I understand it, it is planned to roll out non-sniffable fuels into Tennant Creek. Will the availability of sniffable fuel undermine that rollout in Tennant Creek? Secondly, has the government investigated a reported outbreak of petrol sniffing among young people in Ti Tree earlier this year?
