MENTAL HEALTH COMMISSION —
COMMISSIONER
289. Dr M.D. NAHAN to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
Can the Premier confirm that he has dumped Mr Marney because of his role when
Under Treasurer in the costing of Labor's Metronet policies at the 2013
election—costings that embarrassed him —
Mr M. McGowan : Mr Speaker —
Dr M.D. NAHAN : Can I ask the
question? I will start again.
Can the Premier confirm that he has
dumped Mr Marney because of his role when Under Treasurer in the costing of
Labor's Metronet policies during the 2013 election—costings
that embarrassed him—and as such he has put vindictiveness ahead of
delivering better mental health outcomes for the people of Western Australia?
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Members, the
Premier is on his feet!

AnswerView source ↗

I have not spoken to Mr Marney
about his decision to resign from the public sector. It was a matter for him.
The premise of the Leader of the Opposition's question is false. Mr
Marney made his own decision.
The SPEAKER : That is the end
of question time.
