Mr RAMSEY (3:53 PM) —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.

The SPEAKER —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.
