(1) As the Premier has persistently asserted that his government will always be accountable and do the right thing by the people of Western Australia, does he support the comments made by the member for Riverton to break up the City of Melville, one of the member for Riverton’s most outspoken opponents in the state election? (2) As the member for Riverton’s motive in this matter is based solely on revenge against the City of Melville, and is completely at odds with the view of the Minister for Local Government and Regional Development, will the Premier now stand aside the member for Riverton as a parliamentary secretary?
