AnswerView source ↗
I understand that the public-address system may not be picking up members, so I will have to raise my voice a bit. The PRESIDENT : I think the PA system will not need to pick up the minister. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : Yes, I can confirm that Hon Simon O’Brien alerted me to the startling news during debate yesterday. He said - To cap it all off - the minister will be interested in this - according to the MTA, just today one of its members contacted the Department for Planning and Infrastructure in good faith and in response to the advertisement that appeared in the paper to get the information packages referred to in the advertisement. It cannot be accessed, because it cannot be printed yet, and it will not be printed before the time for applications closes. This morning I checked Hon Simon O’Brien’s claims with the Department for Planning and Infrastructure, as he often advises the house of just how well informed he is on licensing matters. Simply, Hon Simon O’Brien got it wrong, wrong, wrong - as usual. Hon Simon O’Brien told the house that the government could not organise a bunfight in a bakery. I think those were his exact words on licensing matters. I know for a fact that the packages were printed. I also know that, as of yesterday, 74 packages went out in response to expressions of interest from interested parties. Today that figure has increased to 77. I want the honourable member to admit that he got it wrong. Did the member get it wrong? Several members interjected. The PRESIDENT : Order, members! We had this debate yesterday. Point of Order Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : Mr President, can I seek the leave of the house to move a vote of thanks to the minister for clarifying this? The PRESIDENT : Deputy Leader of the Opposition, you are preventing me giving the call to the Leader of the Opposition.
