OSCAR COMPUTER SYSTEM, MANIPULATION OF THE MEDIA
The Premier did not answer the second part of my question: the attempted manipulation of the media by a senior member of his staff. The Premier obviously does not know about it. Will the Premier now investigate and report back to the House? Dr GALLOP

The notion behind the member’s question is ridiculous. The assumption is that the media in this State can be manipulated. What a ridiculous statement! I take offence that the Opposition raises this issue in the House. The Government followed up the issue; the Government delivered accountability. The Government has ensured that standards are in place in the State.
