HIGHGATE PRIMARY SCHOOL
194. Mr P.J. RUNDLE to the Minister for Education:
I have a supplementary question. I note
the minister's comments on the business case. When will the minister
and the local member take accountability and responsibility, stop kicking the
can down the road and give the local school community some time lines?

The
member does not understand that we are a mature grown-up government. We are not
like the Colin Barnett–National Party government that just made
decisions on the spur of the moment and ruined the finances of this state. We
are not like the former government, where part of that government, the three
National Party members, walked out of cabinet when they did not agree with a decision.
We are a disciplined and mature government that is developing a business case.
That is what we should do, member. We develop business cases to present the
facts and to work out what the costs will be, and to then get approval to
proceed. That is what we are doing.
Ms M.J. Davies interjected.
Dr A.D. BUTI : The member for
Central Wheatbelt should not get into this space, because she was one of those three ministers who had no discipline and believed
that they could walk out when they did not agree with a decision, which
trashed the whole Westminster protocol. One thing about National Party members
is that they have no discipline. They think they should take all the benefits,
but without the discipline and hardship. They are the most sectarian, agrarian
and socialist party ever known in Australian political history.
