WATER CORPORATION — BOARD MEMBERSHIP
43. Mr D.J. KELLY to the Minister for
Water:
I have a supplementary question.
Given that the two members who decided not to have their terms renewed were
actually in their first term, is it not actually the case that board members
and senior public servants actually find it very difficult to work with the
minister?

Are we really going to have this
question again? I think I made it very clear to this house yesterday that being
a minister is not a popularity contest.
Mr
P.B. Watson interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Member for Albany, I call you to order for the third time.
Ms
M.J. DAVIES : I make absolutely no apology for the fact that I hold the
portfolios in which I work to the highest level of accountability. I am a hands-on
minister, and I make no apologies for it.
