GST DISTRIBUTION
22. Ms L. METTAM to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question. How
can Western Australians believe any claims a Labor government makes regarding
this issue, given Albanese's past form?
Several members interjected.
Ms R. Saffioti : Show some
respect! He's the Prime Minister!
The SPEAKER : Order, please!

Once again, the member for Vasse is
here campaigning and critiquing the federal government. Question time is the
member's opportunity to come in here and question us about our
performance, not to simply reflect on some sort of political issue that is
going on elsewhere. The nature of the member's question sought an
opinion from me, and that is not within the standing orders.
