of this important bipartisan committee, including its chair, Hon Kate Doust?

AnswerView source ↗
I am saying that I support the efforts by the Department of
the Premier and Cabinet—by Mr Foster and Ms Emily Roper—to cooperate with the CCC in processes to deal
with potential corruption by former members of Parliament. That is what I am saying. If that means I have a different
point of view from members of the Liberal Party or other members of the
upper house, so be it.
The SPEAKER : That is the end of question time.
