OF PARKS AND WILDLIFE — INTERAGENCY ARRANGEMENTS
200. Ms M.M. QUIRK to the Minister for
Environment:
I ask a supplementary question. How
is it that the recent major incident review by consultants appointed by
government found that the interagency agreement has not been signed, and how is
it that the minister did not know that and had to ask his colleague?

The member for Girrawheen is being
very cute. She could have asked her question of the Minister for Emergency
Services, who sits directly to my left.
Several members interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Thank you. The wall of noise! She asked you the question. Answer
it as best you can and let us go.
Mr
A.P. JACOB : I have, Mr Speaker. I have passed on the information as I am
aware of it. The Minister for Emergency Services sits directly to my left.
Mr
W.J. Johnston interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Member for Cannington, I call you to order for the first time.
Mr
A.P. JACOB : I understand that the question was lodged with the upper house
as a written question on notice 10 minutes ago. This is the low level of games
that the opposition likes to play.
