(b) the Threatened Ecological Communities Scientific Committee met in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021;

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

There were some words in the honourable member's question that I have that are slightly different from the ones that he read out. Nonetheless, I ask that the honourable member place his question on notice to allow for a fulsome and accurate response.
