Mr Speaker, I seek your assistance under standing order 105. On 29 November 2005, I asked question No. 2734 of the Minister for Education, Science and Training and question No. 2735 of the Minister for Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs. I would be grateful if you would write to the ministers and request reasons for their delay in answering these questions, especially when all their ministerial colleagues have answered similar questions.

I thank the Deputy Leader of the Opposition. I will follow up her request.
