The
initial question asked by the Leader of the Liberal Party was: if the court
makes some judgement, what am I going to do, and am I going to overrule some
judgement of a court, the number and details of which I am unfamiliar with ?
The whole premise of this question is based upon a breach of the standing
orders and somehow me interfering in some court case. Is it any wonder that the
member for Vasse looks so embarrassed sitting next to the Leader of the Liberal
Party?
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Order! Leader of
the Liberal Party, order, please! I am hoping to give the next question.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Minister, we
would like your government member to ask her question. Member for Bicton.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for
Armadale, order, please!
