TOURISM WA — BUDGET CUTS
223. Mr P. PAPALIA to the Minister for Tourism:
I have a supplementary question.
Does the 30 per cent cut to the remaining tourism advertising budget indicate
that the Barnett government's cabinet sees tourism as a second-rate
industry, or does it confirm that it sees the Minister for Tourism as a
second-rate minister?

This member is a serial denigrator.
Look at what he did with every other minister he related to; he told them they
were useless. He told them they were pathetic. He told them they were the worst
ministers in history. Even his tweets denigrated people. He remembers that he
did a specific one about me, which I chatted to him about. He is a serial
denigrator. That is what happens with cyberbullies, and he is one.
