(1)–(2)
Gee whiz. It is really big stuff today, is it not? I have not looked at the
uncorrected Hansard , but I think the
Leader of the Opposition will find that it was not quite expressed in that
form.
Mrs M.H. Roberts : What form was it
expressed in?
Mr
C.J. BARNETT : Let us look at the Hansard .
Allegations are thrown by members opposite —
Mr M. McGowan : I didn't throw
it; he did! He's on your side!
The SPEAKER : Leader of the Opposition!
Mr
C.J. BARNETT : If the Leader of the Opposition is so interested in this issue,
he should ask the Leader of the National Party a question. It is as simple as
that; I have told him about three times. I will now sit down and allow the
Leader of the Opposition to ask that question.
