Ms Hale to the Minister for Lands, Minister for Rural Affairs, Minister for Regional Development—
- Will the Minister for Lands guarantee that any revenue coming from a private lease agreement within Killalea State Park will go toward the upkeep of Killalea State Park considering he has been quoted as saying that 'it is time that Killalea State Park earned its keep'?
- If not, why not?
- If the proposed development goes ahead, will the Department of Lands be putting the money it gains from a lease towards upkeep of Killalea State Park?
- If not, will the department be diverting it elsewhere?
