ROAD SAFETY PROJECTS — FUNDING APPROVAL
I ask a supplementary question. How can the minister justify milking $1.4 million over four years out of a fund to go into government coffers when these moneys are set aside specifically for road safety outcomes? Mr R.F. JOHNSON

AnswerView source ↗
I object to the inference that we are milking over $1 million or whatever it was. Ms M.M. Quirk : Why do you object if you don’t know anything about it? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Quite frankly, the member does not know what she is talking about. This is the shadow minister who was known as the Scarlet Pimpernel when she was a minister because we used to seek her here, there and everywhere. She would never come out and face the cameras. She cannot get enough of it now. I want to let the house know about the waste of this shadow minister with her number of questions on notice and FOIs in particular. Do members know what time and effort our WA police officers are putting into this? She wants to know what the menus for our police officers will be during CHOGM. This document is just part of it. This is what our police officers have to do. Point of Order Mr M. McGOWAN : As you know, Mr Speaker, the member asked about the road trauma trust fund, not about menus for police officers. I would ask that the minister come back to the question. The SPEAKER : I am hoping that the minister will come back to that. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I was just indulging myself a little. I was trying to show the house — Ms M.M. Quirk : Are you going to table it? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : The member will get it through freedom of information. She will get it all. I will not give it to her now. She will have to wait a little while. I have the menu for what we will be serving our police officers during CHOGM. A member interjected. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I can assure the member that it will be double that amount. What a waste of time, effort and money and what a waste of our police resources. That is what the shadow Minister for Police is doing with her time.
