Albany wants to do nothing but criticise an airline that delivers a service for

Mr
P.B. Watson interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Member for Albany, I call you now for the second time. Minister,
address the question through the Chair, quickly.
Mr
D.C. NALDER : Thank you, Mr Speaker. I cannot believe that the member for
Albany wants to sit there and simply criticise. I have never heard the member

Mr
P.B. Watson interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Member for Albany, I call you to order for the third time.
Mr
D.C. NALDER : I have never heard the member for Albany make one compliment
about Rex being delivered to Albany and the fact that we have an airline
service that is delivering more services for the people of Albany. If there is
a breakdown in any aspect, we will take it on board and we will raise that with
Rex.
Mr
P.B. Watson interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Member for Albany, I would suggest that you relax, quickly.
