I have a supplementary question. This is an important facility for Albany. Will the Premier come with me this afternoon to look at the facility? Dr G.I. GALLOP

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!
