I am happy to answer the question.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER :
Member for Albany, I formally call you to order for the first time today.
Member for Collie–Preston, I formally call you to order for the first
time today.
Mr P.B. Watson interjected.
Mr M.P. Murray interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Member for Albany, I formally call you to order for the second
time today. Member for Collie–Preston, I formally call you to order for
the second time today. If you give me a chance to take a breath, I will call
the Minister for Regional Development to order for the first time.
Mr
T.K. WALDRON : I am very aware of development issues in sports. It is one of
the things I have been involved in over many years. That is the reason I
allowed it to stay at $8.06. That is the reason I took it back from $17.80 and
$13.80.
Mr
P.B. Watson : Rubbish!
Mr
T.K. WALDRON : It is the reason. I would like the member to tell me —
Mr P.B. Watson interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Member for Albany, I could hear you. I do not need to hear you any
further. I formally call you to order for the third time today.
Mr
T.K. WALDRON : It might pay to check what they pay at the member for Albany's
recreation centre in Albany. I went to the Melbourne centre, where they pay around $20 an hour and
they do not have exclusivity to the courts. Here they have over 16 000 hours, I
think, of exclusive use. I understand the member's concern and it is
fair enough to raise the issue, but I think we have addressed it.
