CHRIS ELLISON — APPOINTMENT AS INDEPENDENT FACILITATOR
I have a supplementary question. Is the Premier satisfied that Hon Donna Faragher has no other conflicts of interest to declare or update in relation to her handling of this portfolio? Mr C.J. BARNETT

AnswerView source ↗

What is the point of the supplementary question? If the Leader of the Opposition has an accusation, he should make it. If he has a question, he should ask it! I cannot answer a question by trying to guess what the question is. If the Leader of the Opposition has a question, he should ask me! I will give the Leader of the Opposition another go. What is the question? Mr E.S. Ripper : Has Hon Donna Faragher updated her conflicts of interest declaration? Mr C.J. BARNETT : The Leader of the Opposition is obviously implying there is some conflict. I am not aware of any conflict.
