AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(2) I think it was the same aircraft that the Leader of the Opposition - Hon N.F. Moore: I am just asking which one. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I think it was the same aircraft on which the Leader of the Opposition travelled from Cue to Kalgoorlie with Greg Smith to attend a fundraising dinner in Kalgoorlie. What year would that have been? Hon Ken Travers: About three years ago. Hon N.F. Moore: I hope it was not the same aircraft because the one I flew in is probably still in Kalgoorlie. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I think it had wings. Hon G.T. Giffard: How many? Hon TOM STEPHENS: I think it had two. Hon N.F. Moore: You spend half your life in it. Just answer the question. What time and what aircraft? Hon TOM STEPHENS: I think it was the same aircraft Hon Norman Moore used when he flew to the Liberal Party fundraiser with Greg Smith, but not the same aircraft he charged to his ministerial account when he flew scrutineers to Carnarvon at ministerial expense. Hon N.F. Moore: That is not correct. Hon TOM STEPHENS: It was not that one. Hon N.F. Moore: The aircraft in which I flew to Kalgoorlie was a Citation II owned by Pearl Aviation Australia Pty Ltd. Did you fly in the Citation V or not? Just say yes or no. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I do not know what a Citation V is. Hon N.F. Moore: It is the “slimy aircraft” you talked about before. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I travelled in an aircraft that moves rather fast. It does not have propellers. Hon N.F. Moore: Congratulations. What time did you finish your official duties? Hon TOM STEPHENS: As Hon Norman Moore heard from the answer I gave that my official duties were interspersed during the period. I think on the Friday night - Hon N.F. Moore: I asked what time you began working for the Labor Party on Saturday. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I completed my official duties on Friday night about 9.00 pm, when I went to the Gascoyne Hotel to have a drink with a few friends in the front bar, then I went to bed. Hon N.F. Moore: I asked about the Saturday. Hon TOM STEPHENS: On Saturday I carried out some official duties. The first one involved, I think, a seven o’clock arrival. Hon N.F. Moore: I asked what time you concluded your official engagements. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I am trying to reconstruct my schedule in my mind. At seven o’clock I had breakfast with the shire president, Mrs Del Mills in the Fascine Lodge. I accompanied her to the function she was sponsoring at the HMAS Sydney . We got there about 7.45 or 8.00 am. Point of Order Hon N.F. MOORE: I asked a simple question. What time did the minister conclude his official functions. He advised in answer to the previous question that he engaged in election activity after he had concluded his official function. I want to know what time on Saturday he concluded his official function, not what he did or who he had breakfast with. Hon TOM STEPHENS: The HMAS Sydney function concluded about 9.15 am after I gave a very good speech on democracy. Someone said afterwards that because of the way I spoke, he had deliberately chosen to vote Labor. After that I went to the polling booth at Carnarvon and handed out how-to-vote cards. Subsequently, I visited the Aboriginal cultural centre site. Hon N.F. MOORE: I asked the minister if he would be kind enough to answer the question. We have already heard this speech in response to a previous question. The question is very simple; it requires a very simple answer. What time did the minister finish his official functions? That is all I ask and all we are required to know. The PRESIDENT: The minister will conclude his answer one way or the other. Questions without Notice Resumed Hon TOM STEPHENS: I commenced and finished a variety of official duties at various times during that day. My last official duty in Carnarvon took place about 2.00 pm that day.

Moore: I asked about the Saturday. Hon TOM STEPHENS: On Saturday I carried out some official duties. The first one involved, I think, a seven o’clock arrival. Hon N.F. Moore: I asked what time you concluded your official engagements. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I am trying to reconstruct my schedule in my mind. At seven o’clock I had breakfast with the shire president, Mrs Del Mills in the Fascine Lodge. I accompanied her to the function she was sponsoring at the HMAS Sydney . We got there about 7.45 or 8.00 am. Point of Order Hon N.F. MOORE: I asked a simple question. What time did the minister conclude his official functions. He advised in answer to the previous question that he engaged in election activity after he had concluded his official function. I want to know what time on Saturday he concluded his official function, not what he did or who he had breakfast with. Hon TOM STEPHENS: The HMAS Sydney function concluded about 9.15 am after I gave a very good speech on democracy. Someone said afterwards that because of the way I spoke, he had deliberately chosen to vote Labor. After that I went to the polling booth at Carnarvon and handed out how-to-vote cards. Subsequently, I visited the Aboriginal cultural centre site. Hon N.F. MOORE: I asked the minister if he would be kind enough to answer the question. We have already heard this speech in response to a previous question. The question is very simple; it requires a very simple answer. What time did the minister finish his official functions? That is all I ask and all we are required to know. The PRESIDENT: The minister will conclude his answer one way or the other. Questions without Notice Resumed Hon TOM STEPHENS: I commenced and finished a variety of official duties at various times during that day. My last official duty in Carnarvon took place about 2.00 pm that day.
Hon TOM STEPHENS: I think it had wings. Hon G.T. Giffard: How many? Hon TOM STEPHENS: I think it had two. Hon N.F. Moore: You spend half your life in it. Just answer the question. What time and what aircraft? Hon TOM STEPHENS: I think it was the same aircraft Hon Norman Moore used when he flew to the Liberal Party fundraiser with Greg Smith, but not the same aircraft he charged to his ministerial account when he flew scrutineers to Carnarvon at ministerial expense. Hon N.F. Moore: That is not correct. Hon TOM STEPHENS: It was not that one. Hon N.F. Moore: The aircraft in which I flew to Kalgoorlie was a Citation II owned by Pearl Aviation Australia Pty Ltd. Did you fly in the Citation V or not? Just say yes or no. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I do not know what a Citation V is. Hon N.F. Moore: It is the “slimy aircraft” you talked about before. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I travelled in an aircraft that moves rather fast. It does not have propellers. Hon N.F. Moore: Congratulations. What time did you finish your official duties? Hon TOM STEPHENS: As Hon Norman Moore heard from the answer I gave that my official duties were interspersed during the period. I think on the Friday night - Hon N.F. Moore: I asked what time you began working for the Labor Party on Saturday.

He advised in answer to the previous question that he engaged in election activity after he had concluded his official function. I want to know what time on Saturday he concluded his official function, not what he did or who he had breakfast with. Hon TOM STEPHENS: The HMAS Sydney function concluded about 9.15 am after I gave a very good speech on democracy. Someone said afterwards that because of the way I spoke, he had deliberately chosen to vote Labor. After that I went to the polling booth at Carnarvon and handed out how-to-vote cards. Subsequently, I visited the Aboriginal cultural centre site. Hon N.F. MOORE: I asked the minister if he would be kind enough to answer the question. We have already heard this speech in response to a previous question. The question is very simple; it requires a very simple answer. What time did the minister finish his official functions? That is all I ask and all we are required to know. The PRESIDENT: The minister will conclude his answer one way or the other. Questions without Notice Resumed Hon TOM STEPHENS: I commenced and finished a variety of official duties at various times during that day. My last official duty in Carnarvon took place about 2.00 pm that day.
Hon N.F. Moore: Congratulations. What time did you finish your official duties? Hon TOM STEPHENS: As Hon Norman Moore heard from the answer I gave that my official duties were interspersed during the period. I think on the Friday night - Hon N.F. Moore: I asked what time you began working for the Labor Party on Saturday. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I completed my official duties on Friday night about 9.00 pm, when I went to the Gascoyne Hotel to have a drink with a few friends in the front bar, then I went to bed. Hon N.F. Moore: I asked about the Saturday. Hon TOM STEPHENS: On Saturday I carried out some official duties. The first one involved, I think, a seven o’clock arrival. Hon N.F. Moore: I asked what time you concluded your official engagements. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I am trying to reconstruct my schedule in my mind.

(1) Can the minister advise approximately what time he completed his official engagements on the Saturday? (2) Can the minister advise which aircraft - not which aircraft company - conveyed him to and from Carnarvon? Hon TOM STEPHENS replied: (1)-(2) I think it was the same aircraft that the Leader of the Opposition - Hon N.F. Moore: I am just asking which one. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I think it was the same aircraft on which the Leader of the Opposition travelled from Cue to Kalgoorlie with Greg Smith to attend a fundraising dinner in Kalgoorlie. What year would that have been? Hon Ken Travers: About three years ago. Hon N.F. Moore: I hope it was not the same aircraft because the one I flew in is probably still in Kalgoorlie. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I think it had wings. Hon G.T. Giffard: How many? Hon TOM STEPHENS: I think it had two. Hon N.F. Moore: You spend half your life in it. Just answer the question. What time and what aircraft? Hon TOM STEPHENS: I think it was the same aircraft Hon Norman Moore used when he flew to the Liberal Party fundraiser with Greg Smith, but not the same aircraft he charged to his ministerial account when he flew scrutineers to Carnarvon at ministerial expense. Hon N.F. Moore: That is not correct. Hon TOM STEPHENS: It was not that one. Hon N.F. Moore: The aircraft in which I flew to Kalgoorlie was a Citation II owned by Pearl Aviation Australia Pty Ltd. Did you fly in the Citation V or not? Just say yes or no. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I do not know what a Citation V is. Hon N.F. Moore: It is the “slimy aircraft” you talked about before. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I travelled in an aircraft that moves rather fast. It does not have propellers. Hon N.F. Moore: Congratulations. What time did you finish your official duties?

At seven o’clock I had breakfast with the shire president, Mrs Del Mills in the Fascine Lodge. I accompanied her to the function she was sponsoring at the HMAS Sydney . We got there about 7.45 or 8.00 am. Point of Order Hon N.F. MOORE: I asked a simple question. What time did the minister conclude his official functions. He advised in answer to the previous question that he engaged in election activity after he had concluded his official function. I want to know what time on Saturday he concluded his official function, not what he did or who he had breakfast with. Hon TOM STEPHENS: The HMAS Sydney function concluded about 9.15 am after I gave a very good speech on democracy. Someone said afterwards that because of the way I spoke, he had deliberately chosen to vote Labor. After that I went to the polling booth at Carnarvon and handed out how-to-vote cards. Subsequently, I visited the Aboriginal cultural centre site. Hon N.F. MOORE: I asked the minister if he would be kind enough to answer the question. We have already heard this speech in response to a previous question. The question is very simple; it requires a very simple answer. What time did the minister finish his official functions? That is all I ask and all we are required to know. The PRESIDENT: The minister will conclude his answer one way or the other. Questions without Notice Resumed Hon TOM STEPHENS: I commenced and finished a variety of official duties at various times during that day. My last official duty in Carnarvon took place about 2.00 pm that day.
Hon N.F. Moore: I am just asking which one. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I think it was the same aircraft on which the Leader of the Opposition travelled from Cue to Kalgoorlie with Greg Smith to attend a fundraising dinner in Kalgoorlie. What year would that have been? Hon Ken Travers: About three years ago. Hon N.F. Moore: I hope it was not the same aircraft because the one I flew in is probably still in Kalgoorlie. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I think it had wings. Hon G.T. Giffard: How many? Hon TOM STEPHENS: I think it had two. Hon N.F. Moore: You spend half your life in it. Just answer the question. What time and what aircraft? Hon TOM STEPHENS: I think it was the same aircraft Hon Norman Moore used when he flew to the Liberal Party fundraiser with Greg Smith, but not the same aircraft he charged to his ministerial account when he flew scrutineers to Carnarvon at ministerial expense. Hon N.F. Moore: That is not correct. Hon TOM STEPHENS: It was not that one. Hon N.F. Moore: The aircraft in which I flew to Kalgoorlie was a Citation II owned by Pearl Aviation Australia Pty Ltd. Did you fly in the Citation V or not? Just say yes or no. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I do not know what a Citation V is. Hon N.F. Moore: It is the “slimy aircraft” you talked about before. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I travelled in an aircraft that moves rather fast. It does not have propellers. Hon N.F. Moore: Congratulations. What time did you finish your official duties? Hon TOM STEPHENS: As Hon Norman Moore heard from the answer I gave that my official duties were interspersed during the period. I think on the Friday night - Hon N.F. Moore: I asked what time you began working for the Labor Party on Saturday. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I completed my official duties on Friday night about 9.00 pm, when I went to the Gascoyne Hotel to have a drink with a few friends in the front bar, then I went to bed. Hon N.F.

Hon TOM STEPHENS: As Hon Norman Moore heard from the answer I gave that my official duties were interspersed during the period. I think on the Friday night - Hon N.F. Moore: I asked what time you began working for the Labor Party on Saturday. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I completed my official duties on Friday night about 9.00 pm, when I went to the Gascoyne Hotel to have a drink with a few friends in the front bar, then I went to bed. Hon N.F. Moore: I asked about the Saturday. Hon TOM STEPHENS: On Saturday I carried out some official duties. The first one involved, I think, a seven o’clock arrival. Hon N.F. Moore: I asked what time you concluded your official engagements. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I am trying to reconstruct my schedule in my mind. At seven o’clock I had breakfast with the shire president, Mrs Del Mills in the Fascine Lodge. I accompanied her to the function she was sponsoring at the HMAS Sydney . We got there about 7.45 or 8.00 am. Point of Order Hon N.F. MOORE: I asked a simple question. What time did the minister conclude his official functions. He advised in answer to the previous question that he engaged in election activity after he had concluded his official function. I want to know what time on Saturday he concluded his official function, not what he did or who he had breakfast with. Hon TOM STEPHENS: The HMAS Sydney function concluded about 9.15 am after I gave a very good speech on democracy. Someone said afterwards that because of the way I spoke, he had deliberately chosen to vote Labor. After that I went to the polling booth at Carnarvon and handed out how-to-vote cards. Subsequently, I visited the Aboriginal cultural centre site. Hon N.F. MOORE: I asked the minister if he would be kind enough to answer the question. We have already heard this speech in response to a previous question. The question is very simple; it requires a very simple answer. What time did the minister finish his official functions? That is all I ask and all we are required to know. The PRESIDENT: The minister will conclude his answer one way or the other. Questions without Notice Resumed Hon TOM STEPHENS: I commenced and finished a variety of official duties at various times during that day. My last official duty in Carnarvon took place about 2.00 pm that day.
Hon TOM STEPHENS: It was not that one. Hon N.F. Moore: The aircraft in which I flew to Kalgoorlie was a Citation II owned by Pearl Aviation Australia Pty Ltd. Did you fly in the Citation V or not? Just say yes or no. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I do not know what a Citation V is. Hon N.F. Moore: It is the “slimy aircraft” you talked about before.
