KIMBERLEY — FEDERAL HERITAGE LISTING PROPOSAL
I have a supplementary question. Does the Premier deny the content of this email which states, according to my notes — Hi Nicole, As discussed on the phone I was ringing to see the availability of the Premier next Thursday morning the 4th of August to meet with Minister Burke in Perth to discuss Kimberley Heritage Listing and James Price Point. If you could let me know that would be great. Regards, Nicole. That was sent on Monday, 25 July, at 1.41 pm. Does the Premier deny the contents of that email to his office? Mr C.J. BARNETT

AnswerView source ↗
We have had a week’s break and this is the biggest issue—arrangements between appointments secretaries. Give me a break. The Leader of the Opposition must have done nothing as a minister. Did he sit there and do his own appointments? This is absolutely ludicrous, and I am disappointed in Tony Burke if he thinks this is of some substance. The heritage listing of the Kimberley is an important issue; with the greatest respect, conversations between appointments secretaries—my appointments secretary does a good job—is — Several members interjected. Withdrawal of Remark The SPEAKER : Member for Cannington, I instruct you to withdraw that comment. Mr W.J. JOHNSTON : I withdraw. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr C.J. BARNETT : I have nothing else to say. This is a joke. Mr E.S. Ripper : It is a joke that you do not tell the truth on radio! Mr C.J. BARNETT : Give me a break! You are absolutely ridiculous. Members can imagine that during the week opposition members got together in a little huddle and had their strategy meeting. What is the issue? An appointment with Tony Burke. Who arranged it? You are seriously a joke!
