Hon RAY HALLIGAN: Thank you, Mr President. I will start again. Several members interjected. The PRESIDENT: Order, ministers and parliamentary secretaries! A minister or parliamentary secretary will get a chance to answer shortly. They should not jump the gun. Hon RAY HALLIGAN: In the interests of open and accountable government, will the minister please advise why all tender documents are not available for downloading from the Internet? Hon TOM STEPHENS replied: If my memory serves me correctly, this member was part of a Government, and is now part of an Opposition, that has argued the case for secret workplace agreements. This member was part of a Government that never committed itself to - The PRESIDENT: Order! Answers should be concise. Hon Peter Foss: You are a liar! We put it on the Internet.

The minister may object now if that term was used. Hon TOM STEPHENS: I will let it pass. I appreciate the depths to which the former Attorney General stooped when he held that position and continues to stoop now. If Hon Ray Halligan has any detail about a particular matter that is not online, and to which he would like to draw my attention, I ask him to do so. I am fascinated by the amount of detail that is available online for all to see. Increasing amounts have become available online since we came to government. Hon Peter Foss: That is nonsense. We started that, not you. Hon TOM STEPHENS: There has been an increasing amount. Hon Peter Foss: We started it.
