ANZAC
INTERPRETIVE CENTRE — GOVERNMENT FUNDING
198. Mr P.B. WATSON to the Treasurer:
I have a
supplementary question. The mayor of Albany has publicly stated his concern
that without firm commitments, Albany might not be ready in time. I am not
asking what will happen; I am just saying —
A government member
interjected.
Mr P.B. WATSON : I wasn't speaking to you, boofhead!
Mr M.P. Murray : You got that right!
Withdrawal of Remark
Mr P.B. WATSON : I withdraw.
The SPEAKER : You may withdraw, member for Albany, but I
will formally call the member for Collie–Preston to order for the third
time today.
Ms M.M. Quirk interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for Girrawheen, I am just going to apply the same mathematics
course to you that I have applied to the member for Mandurah. If I look at my
formal calls to order, I count three times next to your name.
Questions
without Notice Resumed
Mr P.B. WATSON : From a bipartisan approach, Treasurer, I
just want to make sure that it is there in time so that we have a proper
celebration in Albany.

AnswerView source ↗

I think this
government would share the view that every effort has to be made to ensure that
the celebrations around that very important milestone are a success. I am not
personally aware of the preparedness or otherwise of the Albany city council or
of the mayor's views. This is something we can definitely talk about
out of session. The member for Albany can give me his views and knowledge as to
what is occurring and I will take those on board.
