MEMBER FOR
VASSE — ROAD TRAFFIC INCIDENT — DUMAS HOUSE
465. Mr M. McGOWAN to the
Premier:
I have a supplementary question. Why did Mr Conran see the
evidence from the security guard as so important that he revealed it to the
police? Will the Premier endeavour to get that information and report it to the
house, and will the Premier release all the closed-circuit television vision
from that night through to the next day so that we can examine it publicly?

As if I would give anything to that person, given his conduct—given
his conduct and your conduct! The government has been absolutely truthful on
every matter to do with the driving incident—every single matter!
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER :
Member for Albany! Leader of the Opposition!
Mr M. McGowan :
Move a suspension—go on! You cover up criminality! That is what you do!
The
SPEAKER : I do not want to hear anything. Member for Albany, I call you now
to order for the third time. Have you finished, Premier?
Mr
C.J. BARNETT : No.
The Leader of the Opposition just
accused me—the Premier of Western Australia—of covering up
criminality. Produce some evidence, Leader of the Opposition! Produce some
evidence! He cannot, because it is a complete myth. The actions have been
treated through the courts and justice has prevailed. The Leader of the
Opposition may be dissatisfied with that, but he should produce his evidence of
criminality or apologise now in the house!
The
SPEAKER : Member for Forrestfield.
Mr
C.J. Barnett : Come on, apologise! Where is the evidence of criminality?
Several members interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Members! Premier,
I call you now to order for the first time. Member for West Swan, I call you
for the first time.
