HOMELESSNESS
597. Mr
A. KRSTICEVIC to the Deputy Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
Considering the Premier is too mean-spirited to visit these establishments,
will the Deputy Premier come down to the shantytown in Rockingham and to the
Beacon in Northbridge —
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Members, please!
Start again.
Mr A. KRSTICEVIC : Thank you.
I have been to both of these locations —
Ms M.M. Quirk interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for
Girrawheen!
Mr A. KRSTICEVIC : —
and they have told me the Premier has not been there. I am asking the Deputy Premier,
on behalf of the state government, whether he will come with me —
Government members interjected.
The
SPEAKER : This is not a question;
it is a supplementary question. It is a follow-up to the Deputy Premier's
answer.
Government members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Members on my right!
Mr A. KRSTICEVIC : Will the
Deputy Premier come with me to visit the homeless in Rockingham and the Beacon in Northbridge?
The SPEAKER : It is not a supplementary.

I think commentary like ''shantytown''
really writs large the attitudes on the other side of the chamber in relation
to homelessness.
Mr A. Krsticevic interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for
Carine!
Mr R.H. COOK : Has the member
for Carine ever opposed extra social housing going into his community?
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Members!
Mr A. Krsticevic : I support
it.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for Carine
and Minister for Transport, I am on my feet. I call you both to order. Are you
finished?
Mr R.H. COOK : Yes.
