I
think leadership is what was on display in plentiful form yesterday. The work
that the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs has done has shown true leadership
in this state—leadership that failed on the other side of the chamber
time and again. Why will the member not apologise for supporting Clive Palmer
when he tried to make sure that hordes of people crossed our border and ruin
our COVID-19 policies? Why will he not apologise for the work he has done to
undermine the people of Western Australia during the COVID pandemic? We will
continue to stand up for the community, and that is what we did yesterday. We
listened to the people of Western Australia, we heard their voices, we made the
difficult decisions and we moved forward.
