I reckon the member
should ask AI during question time. It can modify the answer depending on what I
have said. No; that is what I said. Honestly—the hypocrisy of the urbane
National Party, which hates motorsport! I mean—seriously? There are tens
of thousands of Western Australians who love motorsport. They travel to watch
it. We have a Leader of the Liberal Party who to one group says, "Motorsports
is great", to another group says, "Oh, we can't possibly touch that
area", and to another group says, "Oh, we can touch the area; we just
don't like the road—but we can touch the whole area." What do you stand
for? This is the guy who goes around saying he is bold. Bold? He rejects
everything! A new ferry system—no. A new Burswood sports precinct—no.
A new WACA redevelopment—no. He wants to unwind planning reform. This
is the only party in the nation currently talking about putting more red tape
in the development process. Tonight he is sitting back, the mute button has
been pressed and he is not standing up for the Indian community in Western
Australia.
Point of order
Mr Liam Staltari: My point of order is relevance. This
is a long way away from the basic supplementary question that the member for
Roe asked.
The Speaker: I shall not uphold that point of order.
Minister, have you completed?
Ms Rita Saffioti: I'm good.
