I ask a supplementary question. How does the minister justify that answer, given that he would be aware that the Premier’s commitment when he was Leader of the Opposition was that the seawall would be rebuilt immediately? Hon TOM STEPHENS
AnswerView source ↗
This morning, I was trying to obtain a copy of any advice that the then Leader of the Opposition gave with regard to that matter. I understand there has been some media coverage of this issue. I would appreciate it if the Leader of the Opposition could make that advice available to me. Several members interjected. Hon N.F. Moore: Can the minister read this? The media statement reads - We will rebuild the sea wall and we will do it immediately. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I thank the Leader of the Opposition for drawing that to my attention, and I will ensure that is drawn to the attention of all my colleagues.
