PREMIER'S
OFFICE — EMAIL — JOURNALIST COMMENTARY
1016. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS to the
Premier:
I have a supplementary question. Mr Speaker, I am wondering
whether, prior to the supplementary, the Premier is actually going to be doing
what you directed him to do and answer parts (3) and (4). One was whether the
Premier has investigated other emails, and the other question was whether he
was referring matters to the Public Sector Commissioner. Those parts have not
been answered, so can I just inquire whether the Premier is going to be
required to answer those parts?
The SPEAKER : The
Premier can answer the question as he deems fit.
Mr C.J. BARNETT :
Mr Speaker, I have answered the question.
Mrs
M.H. ROBERTS : Will I still be getting a supplementary?
The SPEAKER : Yes;
sure.
Mrs M.H. ROBERTS :
The Premier still has not said whether he will actually require Dixie Marshall
to make an apology. Does this lack of action on the Premier's part not
just condone bullying amongst his staff?

I am sure the person in my office will deal with it in an
appropriate way, having made the error. I assure members that I intend to deal
with it in an appropriate way as well.
