MINISTERS OF THE CROWN - DIRECTIVE ON COMMUNICATIONS WITH BRIAN BURKE

AnswerView source ↗

I think anyone with any commonsense as a minister of the Crown in this state would not need any instructions from the Premier on that matter. Hon Simon O’Brien : What have those in the cabinet who do not have commonsense been told? Hon KIM CHANCE : All my brother and sister ministers are endowed with commonsense.
