AGRICULTURE — ELECTION PROMISES
177. Mr M. McGOWAN to the Premier:
I ask a supplementary question. Will the Premier confirm
whether he will deliver on the $340 million worth of joint commitments made by
the Liberal and National Parties in the lead up to the election?

AnswerView source ↗

We will deliver on our election commitments. I will deliver
on the commitments made by the Liberal Party, and the Leader of the National
Party will bring his commitments to the cabinet table. I remind the house that
we are not a coalition.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : We
have got to the stage where we cannot hear the Premier.
Mr C.J. BARNETT :
We are not a coalition. We campaigned as independent parties and we competed in
a number of seats and yet we maintained the relationship.
Several members interjected.
Mr
C.J. BARNETT : This is a ridiculous opposition. From my observation this
week, and it surprises me to say this, only one member of the opposition has
done some work and that is the member for Cannington.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER :
Member for Cannington, I hope you have recovered from that compliment.
