ROLEYSTONE–KELMSCOTT BUSHFIRES — KEELTY REPORT — PREMIER’S OFFICE
I have a supplementary question. Given that the Premier’s office received the FESA response both from the Public Sector Commissioner and from the Minister for Police, why should anyone believe the Premier’s claims of last Friday that he was furious and fully briefed on this response only last Friday? Mr C.J. BARNETT

AnswerView source ↗
The minister, as he said, no doubt wanted the response to the Public Sector Commission to come to my office. It came to my office from the Public Sector Commission. When the report first landed in my office, it had attached to it those responses. I have to say that I have not read them and that I do not intend to, because all I will deal with is the report of Keelty. Mrs M.H. Roberts : You do not read them! Mr C.J. BARNETT : No; I do not and I do not intend to. Mr E.S. Ripper : That is cavalier! Mr C.J. BARNETT : I deliberately do not. Mrs M.H. Roberts : What kind of cowboy outfit are you running? Mr C.J. BARNETT : We are dealing with the report, not second or third versions. Indeed — Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, members! Mr E.S. Ripper : How is that natural justice? You ask for responses, but no-one reads them! Mrs M.H. Roberts : It is no justice at all. Mr C.J. BARNETT : I did not; the Public Sector Commission did on the advice of special counsel. Mrs M.H. Roberts : I tell you what: this explains a few things! It really explains a few things! The SPEAKER : Member for Midland! Mr C.J. BARNETT : It explains a lot. It explains that this government will deal with the report. Indeed, those responses to the Public Sector Commission, while they went beyond — Mrs M.H. Roberts : If you do not read the responses, they cannot — The SPEAKER : Order! If you want to ask a question, member for Midland, I will give you that chance. At this point, I am going to formally call you to order for the first time today. Mr C.J. BARNETT : Mr Speaker, the Keelty report, under the Public Sector Management Act, was the final report. It was not open for a review, amendment, adjustment or second go. Therefore, I and cabinet have only dealt with the Keelty report. And that is quite proper. That is what we should deal with. Mr E.S. Ripper : No wonder we are in such a mess. Mr C.J. BARNETT : This so clearly explains the difference between this government and your government! It so clearly makes the difference. You could not deal on matters of principle; you could not get the process correct! Mr E.S. Ripper : Give me a break! Mr C.J. BARNETT : It was not open to FESA, to have a second submission. The report was final. I am broadly aware what FESA said in its letter and what was said by others. But I stress, that we deal with the report of Mr Keelty. That is what we deal with.

Mr C.J. BARNETT replied: The minister, as he said, no doubt wanted the response to the Public Sector Commission to come to my office. It came to my office from the Public Sector Commission. When the report first landed in my office, it had attached to it those responses. I have to say that I have not read them and that I do not intend to, because all I will deal with is the report of Keelty. Mrs M.H. Roberts : You do not read them! Mr C.J. BARNETT : No; I do not and I do not intend to. Mr E.S. Ripper : That is cavalier! Mr C.J. BARNETT : I deliberately do not. Mrs M.H. Roberts : What kind of cowboy outfit are you running? Mr C.J.

The report was final. I am broadly aware what FESA said in its letter and what was said by others. But I stress, that we deal with the report of Mr Keelty. That is what we deal with.
The SPEAKER : Member for Midland! Mr C.J. BARNETT : It explains a lot. It explains that this government will deal with the report. Indeed, those responses to the Public Sector Commission, while they went beyond — Mrs M.H. Roberts : If you do not read the responses, they cannot — The SPEAKER : Order! If you want to ask a question, member for Midland, I will give you that chance. At this point, I am going to formally call you to order for the first time today. Mr C.J. BARNETT : Mr Speaker, the Keelty report, under the Public Sector Management Act, was the final report. It was not open for a review, amendment, adjustment or second go. Therefore, I and cabinet have only dealt with the Keelty report. And that is quite proper. That is what we should deal with. Mr E.S. Ripper : No wonder we are in such a mess. Mr C.J. BARNETT : This so clearly explains the difference between this government and your government! It so clearly makes the difference. You could not deal on matters of principle; you could not get the process correct! Mr E.S. Ripper : Give me a break! Mr C.J. BARNETT : It was not open to FESA, to have a second submission. The report was final. I am broadly aware what FESA said in its letter and what was said by others. But I stress, that we deal with the report of Mr Keelty. That is what we deal with.
