QuestionView source ↗

I, too, refer to the cabinet shares scandal and ask the one question that the Premier does not have the nerve to answer publicly or in this Parliament. (1) Did the Premier know in August that the member for Yokine or his wife had shares in Alinta? (2) If not, when did the Premier first learn that the Kuceras held shares in Alinta? Dr G.I. GALLOP

(1)-(2) I do not know how many times I have to go through this issue with the opposition. It was last Wednesday night that I sat down with the then Minister for Sport and Recreation, went through their shareholdings and discovered a clear breach. It was acknowledged, and I acted - unlike all of those on the other side of the house.
