ROLEYSTONE–KELMSCOTT BUSHFIRES — INQUIRY
I have a supplementary question. The minister has alluded to another review. When will we have an answer about that? I gather from the minister’s answer that he concedes this review is neither open nor comprehensive, and it is limited in scope. The SPEAKER : Minister, the second part of that question is possibly an opinion being sought. The first part of the question is able to be answered. Mr R.F. JOHNSON

AnswerView source ↗

I am always happy to give an opinion to the member for Girrawheen. It is just that she does not like my opinion. The member’s question comprised flowery comments to try to substantiate the question she asked. Ms M.M. Quirk : Just tell us about this other review. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Does the member want to know about the other review? Ms M.M. Quirk : Yes. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : The member will find out about that in the fullness of time. It will not be very long; I am pretty sure of that. Ms M.M. Quirk : Victimising the victims! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : No! Mr W.J. Johnston interjected. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Look at one of the traitors up the back! Nobody wants to sit next to you, my friend.
