Did I hear the Leader of the Opposition use the word “bipartisan” with that offer? Was that a bipartisan offer from “Captain Grumpy”, captain of the ship of misery in Western Australian politics? We stand for the people of regional Western Australia. We back up that commitment. I am not going to play the sort of stunts proposed by the Leader of the Opposition. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, members!
