Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the Leader of the Opposition for some notice of the question. The final answer has been provided to me by the Minister for Environment. The production of this information will divert staff resources from their usual work, and it is not possible to provide the information requested in the time frame. I request that the Leader of the Opposition places this question on notice.
