GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS — HUAWEI
597. Dr M.D. NAHAN to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
Given that the Minister for Transport has bungled this $205 million radio
system replacement contract, will the Premier undertake to report to this house
the national security and operational implications of today's
commonwealth announcement or is he just covering up for a bungling minister?

I just answered the question. I want
to repeat something that I said yesterday. Tomorrow, the federal Liberal Party
is going to roll Malcolm Turnbull. Last week, the state opposition locked in
behind the member for Riverton. What a bizarre world we live in when Malcolm
Turnbull, the Prime Minister of Australia, is being ditched for whatever reason
and the state Liberal Party is keeping Mike Nahan as state opposition leader.
What a strange world it is!
The SPEAKER : Member for
Churchlands and Leader of the Opposition, I call you to order.
