I have a supplementary question. I preface my remarks by saying I withdraw that comment. Maybe I should have said “grossly misrepresented”. The supplementary question is: will the Premier now publicly apologise to the people of Western Australia for deceiving them yet again? Dr G.I. GALLOP
AnswerView source ↗
I say this to the people of Western Australia: I was very proud to be Premier of Western Australia when we stopped the logging of old-growth forests in this State. That is a truthful answer, and it is based on the policy we took to the election and implemented. It reflects poorly on the member that he should raise this issue when he is in favour of old-growth logging in Western Australia.
