LIVE EXPORT — FEDERAL GOVERNMENT POLICY
478. Mr P.J. RUNDLE to the Premier:
I
have a supplementary question. Surely, once the Prime Minister leant on the
Premier to repeal the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Bill —
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Order,
members! I will just say to the member for Roe that that is a preamble and that
which you have said so far does not relate to the first question. A direct
question that directly pertains to the original question, please.
Mr P.J. RUNDLE :
Premier, surely, given the events
of recent days, this was the perfect bargaining opportunity for the Premier to
save the WA live export industry.
The SPEAKER : That is a statement.
Does the Premier wish to respond?

AnswerView source ↗

No, that is a completely
nonsensical question and I am not quite sure what its intent is, so I will not
answer.
The SPEAKER : Members, that
concludes question time.
