WA LABOR —
INAUGURAL SPEECHES
59. Hon
ROBIN SCOTT to the Leader of the House representing the Premier:
I refer to this morning's
edition of the ''Rumour File'' on 6PR, during which a caller
stated that the Premier's staff had contacted all incoming Labor MPs
demanding copies of their inaugural speeches so that the Premier could vet them
for any undesirable content. Can the Premier confirm whether there is any truth
to this rumour?
