AnswerView source ↗
I have made it clear that I spoke to the former Minister for Health about the matter. In every comment I have made, I have made it clear that I was satisfied with the explanation he gave. Mr C.J. Barnett: He could not answer the question. Dr G.I. Gallop: He did answer it. Mr C.J. Barnett: Yes or no; it is not that hard. The SPEAKER: I call the Leader of the Opposition to order for the first time.
