PROCEDURE AND PRIVILEGES COMMITTEE - SECOND REPORT
I refer to evidence from the Procedure and Privileges Committee inquiry in reacting to the member for Murchison-Eyre and other related matters and, in particular, to item PPC No. 13B. On that page is an email dated 11 November 2004 to Roderick Smith and Julian Grill, with a copy to Brian Burke. The email relates to the FMG State Agreement Act passed by this Parliament. Is the Premier or any member of his government aware of the involvement of Brian Burke or Julian Grill in any aspect of this agreement, including the unusual way in which this was introduced and pushed through Parliament in November 2004? Mr A.J. CARPENTER

AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for the question, although I must say, he is a disgrace. Several members interjected Mr A.J. CARPENTER : He is. Several members interjected The SPEAKER : Order! Mr A.J. CARPENTER : He is an unadulterated disgrace. For three days in a row now he has had the opportunity to repair the damage he sought to inflict upon the member for Bassendean. He does not have the spine or the qualities required to do that. Several members interjected. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : If the member for Vasse has a genuine concern along the lines that he is hinting at - we are familiar with his approach to politics, his inability to deal with the truth and his work on half-truths and misleading statements and trying to create false perceptions and false views about the activities of people - that arises from anything that he has - Mr T. Buswell interjected. The SPEAKER : I call the Deputy Leader of the Opposition to order for the second time. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : If he has a genuine concern - Mr P.D. Omodei interjected. The SPEAKER : I call the Leader of the Opposition to order for the second time. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : If the Deputy Leader of the Opposition has a genuine concern along the lines he has just intimated, I invite him to go back to the place where he has already been once; that is, the Corruption and Crime Commission. As I recall, the last time he went there, his appearance was preceded by a secret meeting in the car park here - a clandestine meeting with the subject of the CCC investigation that he was called to give evidence on. Mr T. Buswell : Preceded by how long? Mr A.J. CARPENTER : You tell us, my friend. He should tell us. In his own words, the purpose of the meeting that he had in the car park with Noel Crichton-Browne was to discuss the evidence he was about to give when he went to the CCC. That is what he said. How he can sit there in the position he holds in Parliament is, to me, almost incredible. I am used to the fact that he has the unmitigated audacity to raise questions about the integrity of the process and other people in Parliament. He is a disgrace, and that fact is recognised by the many people sitting behind him who say that he is a shocker. Mr T.R. Sprigg interjected. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : I enjoy the member for Murdoch’s interjections because it reminds me that he is still alive, and of how intimidated he is by the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure! The member for Murdoch is the provider of much merriment and mirth and much entertainment. I have never seen a person as intimidated as he is by the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure! The fact that she is so much more intelligent and has so much more capacity than he does is something he finds incredibly intimidating, so he spends much of his time firing denigrating, sexist, insulting remarks at her across the chamber. The imbalance in the member for Murdoch’s struggle with the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure reminds of the imbalance when he played against Austin Robinson, a former Subiaco full forward - a shocking imbalance. Dr K.D. Hames : They’re your side as well. You should hear what they say. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : Did the member for Dawesville, paragon of virtue, receive a campaign donation from the Peel Health Campus? Dr K.D. Hames : No. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : Is the member sure about that? Dr K.D. Hames : I’m 99.99 per cent sure. Several members interjected. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : Did the member for Dawesville stand in this Parliament and attack the government for allowing the Peel Health Campus to cancel elective surgery over Christmas and New Year by not providing sufficient funds? Dr K.D. Hames : Absolutely. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : That privately operated campus donated $10 000 to the Liberal Party and nothing to the government. Point of Order Dr S.C. THOMAS : Standing order 78 still states that an answer must be relevant to the question. The SPEAKER : That is completely true and therein lies the problem with interjections. If a member interjects, the person on his feet is required to answer. Questions Without Notice Resumed Dr K.D. Hames : Did they donate to the Labor Party? Mr A.J. CARPENTER : No, they did not donate to the Labor Party, strangely; they donated to the Liberal Party, though. Was the member for Dawesville a beneficiary of that? Dr K.D. Hames : I have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : If the member for Vasse has those sort of concerns, the state Labor government has established the ideal forum for those concerns to be raised, and it is called the Corruption and Crime Commission. I invite the member to go down there and do it.

Mr A.J. CARPENTER : He is an unadulterated disgrace. For three days in a row now he has had the opportunity to repair the damage he sought to inflict upon the member for Bassendean. He does not have the spine or the qualities required to do that. Several members interjected. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : If the member for Vasse has a genuine concern along the lines that he is hinting at - we are familiar with his approach to politics, his inability to deal with the truth and his work on half-truths and misleading statements and trying to create false perceptions and false views about the activities of people - that arises from anything that he has - Mr T. Buswell interjected. The SPEAKER : I call the Deputy Leader of the Opposition to order for the second time. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : If he has a genuine concern - Mr P.D. Omodei interjected. The SPEAKER : I call the Leader of the Opposition to order for the second time. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : If the Deputy Leader of the Opposition has a genuine concern along the lines he has just intimated, I invite him to go back to the place where he has already been once; that is, the Corruption and Crime Commission. As I recall, the last time he went there, his appearance was preceded by a secret meeting in the car park here - a clandestine meeting with the subject of the CCC investigation that he was called to give evidence on. Mr T. Buswell : Preceded by how long? Mr A.J. CARPENTER : You tell us, my friend. He should tell us. In his own words, the purpose of the meeting that he had in the car park with Noel Crichton-Browne was to discuss the evidence he was about to give when he went to the CCC. That is what he said. How he can sit there in the position he holds in Parliament is, to me, almost incredible. I am used to the fact that he has the unmitigated audacity to raise questions about the integrity of the process and other people in Parliament. He is a disgrace, and that fact is recognised by the many people sitting behind him who say that he is a shocker. Mr T.R. Sprigg interjected. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : I enjoy the member for Murdoch’s interjections because it reminds me that he is still alive, and of how intimidated he is by the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure! The member for Murdoch is the provider of much merriment and mirth and much entertainment. I have never seen a person as intimidated as he is by the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure! The fact that she is so much more intelligent and has so much more capacity than he does is something he finds incredibly intimidating, so he spends much of his time firing denigrating, sexist, insulting remarks at her across the chamber. The imbalance in the member for Murdoch’s struggle with the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure reminds of the imbalance when he played against Austin Robinson, a former Subiaco full forward - a shocking imbalance. Dr K.D. Hames : They’re your side as well. You should hear what they say. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : Did the member for Dawesville, paragon of virtue, receive a campaign donation from the Peel Health Campus? Dr K.D. Hames : No. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : Is the member sure about that? Dr K.D. Hames : I’m 99.99 per cent sure. Several members interjected. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : Did the member for Dawesville stand in this Parliament and attack the government for allowing the Peel Health Campus to cancel elective surgery over Christmas and New Year by not providing sufficient funds? Dr K.D. Hames : Absolutely. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : That privately operated campus donated $10 000 to the Liberal Party and nothing to the government. Point of Order Dr S.C. THOMAS : Standing order 78 still states that an answer must be relevant to the question. The SPEAKER : That is completely true and therein lies the problem with interjections. If a member interjects, the person on his feet is required to answer. Questions Without Notice Resumed Dr K.D. Hames : Did they donate to the Labor Party? Mr A.J. CARPENTER : No, they did not donate to the Labor Party, strangely; they donated to the Liberal Party, though. Was the member for Dawesville a beneficiary of that? Dr K.D. Hames : I have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : If the member for Vasse has those sort of concerns, the state Labor government has established the ideal forum for those concerns to be raised, and it is called the Corruption and Crime Commission.

CARPENTER : Did the member for Dawesville, paragon of virtue, receive a campaign donation from the Peel Health Campus? Dr K.D. Hames : No. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : Is the member sure about that? Dr K.D. Hames : I’m 99.99 per cent sure. Several members interjected. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : Did the member for Dawesville stand in this Parliament and attack the government for allowing the Peel Health Campus to cancel elective surgery over Christmas and New Year by not providing sufficient funds? Dr K.D. Hames : Absolutely. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : That privately operated campus donated $10 000 to the Liberal Party and nothing to the government. Point of Order Dr S.C. THOMAS : Standing order 78 still states that an answer must be relevant to the question. The SPEAKER : That is completely true and therein lies the problem with interjections. If a member interjects, the person on his feet is required to answer. Questions Without Notice Resumed Dr K.D. Hames : Did they donate to the Labor Party? Mr A.J. CARPENTER : No, they did not donate to the Labor Party, strangely; they donated to the Liberal Party, though. Was the member for Dawesville a beneficiary of that? Dr K.D. Hames : I have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : If the member for Vasse has those sort of concerns, the state Labor government has established the ideal forum for those concerns to be raised, and it is called the Corruption and Crime Commission. I invite the member to go down there and do it.
Mr T. Buswell : Preceded by how long? Mr A.J. CARPENTER : You tell us, my friend. He should tell us. In his own words, the purpose of the meeting that he had in the car park with Noel Crichton-Browne was to discuss the evidence he was about to give when he went to the CCC. That is what he said. How he can sit there in the position he holds in Parliament is, to me, almost incredible. I am used to the fact that he has the unmitigated audacity to raise questions about the integrity of the process and other people in Parliament. He is a disgrace, and that fact is recognised by the many people sitting behind him who say that he is a shocker. Mr T.R. Sprigg interjected. Mr A.J.

Several members interjected The SPEAKER : Order! Mr A.J. CARPENTER : He is an unadulterated disgrace. For three days in a row now he has had the opportunity to repair the damage he sought to inflict upon the member for Bassendean. He does not have the spine or the qualities required to do that. Several members interjected. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : If the member for Vasse has a genuine concern along the lines that he is hinting at - we are familiar with his approach to politics, his inability to deal with the truth and his work on half-truths and misleading statements and trying to create false perceptions and false views about the activities of people - that arises from anything that he has - Mr T. Buswell interjected. The SPEAKER : I call the Deputy Leader of the Opposition to order for the second time. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : If he has a genuine concern - Mr P.D. Omodei interjected. The SPEAKER : I call the Leader of the Opposition to order for the second time. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : If the Deputy Leader of the Opposition has a genuine concern along the lines he has just intimated, I invite him to go back to the place where he has already been once; that is, the Corruption and Crime Commission. As I recall, the last time he went there, his appearance was preceded by a secret meeting in the car park here - a clandestine meeting with the subject of the CCC investigation that he was called to give evidence on. Mr T. Buswell : Preceded by how long? Mr A.J. CARPENTER : You tell us, my friend. He should tell us. In his own words, the purpose of the meeting that he had in the car park with Noel Crichton-Browne was to discuss the evidence he was about to give when he went to the CCC. That is what he said.

He is a disgrace, and that fact is recognised by the many people sitting behind him who say that he is a shocker. Mr T.R. Sprigg interjected. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : I enjoy the member for Murdoch’s interjections because it reminds me that he is still alive, and of how intimidated he is by the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure! The member for Murdoch is the provider of much merriment and mirth and much entertainment. I have never seen a person as intimidated as he is by the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure!

CARPENTER : I enjoy the member for Murdoch’s interjections because it reminds me that he is still alive, and of how intimidated he is by the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure! The member for Murdoch is the provider of much merriment and mirth and much entertainment. I have never seen a person as intimidated as he is by the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure! The fact that she is so much more intelligent and has so much more capacity than he does is something he finds incredibly intimidating, so he spends much of his time firing denigrating, sexist, insulting remarks at her across the chamber. The imbalance in the member for Murdoch’s struggle with the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure reminds of the imbalance when he played against Austin Robinson, a former Subiaco full forward - a shocking imbalance. Dr K.D. Hames : They’re your side as well. You should hear what they say. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : Did the member for Dawesville, paragon of virtue, receive a campaign donation from the Peel Health Campus? Dr K.D. Hames : No. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : Is the member sure about that? Dr K.D. Hames : I’m 99.99 per cent sure. Several members interjected. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : Did the member for Dawesville stand in this Parliament and attack the government for allowing the Peel Health Campus to cancel elective surgery over Christmas and New Year by not providing sufficient funds? Dr K.D. Hames : Absolutely. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : That privately operated campus donated $10 000 to the Liberal Party and nothing to the government. Point of Order Dr S.C. THOMAS : Standing order 78 still states that an answer must be relevant to the question. The SPEAKER : That is completely true and therein lies the problem with interjections. If a member interjects, the person on his feet is required to answer. Questions Without Notice Resumed Dr K.D. Hames : Did they donate to the Labor Party? Mr A.J. CARPENTER : No, they did not donate to the Labor Party, strangely; they donated to the Liberal Party, though. Was the member for Dawesville a beneficiary of that? Dr K.D. Hames : I have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : If the member for Vasse has those sort of concerns, the state Labor government has established the ideal forum for those concerns to be raised, and it is called the Corruption and Crime Commission. I invite the member to go down there and do it.
Several members interjected Mr A.J. CARPENTER : He is. Several members interjected The SPEAKER : Order! Mr A.J. CARPENTER : He is an unadulterated disgrace. For three days in a row now he has had the opportunity to repair the damage he sought to inflict upon the member for Bassendean. He does not have the spine or the qualities required to do that. Several members interjected. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : If the member for Vasse has a genuine concern along the lines that he is hinting at - we are familiar with his approach to politics, his inability to deal with the truth and his work on half-truths and misleading statements and trying to create false perceptions and false views about the activities of people - that arises from anything that he has - Mr T. Buswell interjected. The SPEAKER : I call the Deputy Leader of the Opposition to order for the second time. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : If he has a genuine concern - Mr P.D. Omodei interjected. The SPEAKER : I call the Leader of the Opposition to order for the second time. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : If the Deputy Leader of the Opposition has a genuine concern along the lines he has just intimated, I invite him to go back to the place where he has already been once; that is, the Corruption and Crime Commission. As I recall, the last time he went there, his appearance was preceded by a secret meeting in the car park here - a clandestine meeting with the subject of the CCC investigation that he was called to give evidence on. Mr T. Buswell : Preceded by how long? Mr A.J. CARPENTER : You tell us, my friend. He should tell us. In his own words, the purpose of the meeting that he had in the car park with Noel Crichton-Browne was to discuss the evidence he was about to give when he went to the CCC. That is what he said. How he can sit there in the position he holds in Parliament is, to me, almost incredible. I am used to the fact that he has the unmitigated audacity to raise questions about the integrity of the process and other people in Parliament. He is a disgrace, and that fact is recognised by the many people sitting behind him who say that he is a shocker. Mr T.R. Sprigg interjected. Mr A.J.

Mr T. Buswell interjected. The SPEAKER : I call the Deputy Leader of the Opposition to order for the second time. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : If he has a genuine concern - Mr P.D. Omodei interjected. The SPEAKER : I call the Leader of the Opposition to order for the second time. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : If the Deputy Leader of the Opposition has a genuine concern along the lines he has just intimated, I invite him to go back to the place where he has already been once; that is, the Corruption and Crime Commission. As I recall, the last time he went there, his appearance was preceded by a secret meeting in the car park here - a clandestine meeting with the subject of the CCC investigation that he was called to give evidence on. Mr T. Buswell : Preceded by how long? Mr A.J. CARPENTER : You tell us, my friend. He should tell us. In his own words, the purpose of the meeting that he had in the car park with Noel Crichton-Browne was to discuss the evidence he was about to give when he went to the CCC. That is what he said. How he can sit there in the position he holds in Parliament is, to me, almost incredible. I am used to the fact that he has the unmitigated audacity to raise questions about the integrity of the process and other people in Parliament. He is a disgrace, and that fact is recognised by the many people sitting behind him who say that he is a shocker. Mr T.R. Sprigg interjected. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : I enjoy the member for Murdoch’s interjections because it reminds me that he is still alive, and of how intimidated he is by the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure! The member for Murdoch is the provider of much merriment and mirth and much entertainment. I have never seen a person as intimidated as he is by the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure! The fact that she is so much more intelligent and has so much more capacity than he does is something he finds incredibly intimidating, so he spends much of his time firing denigrating, sexist, insulting remarks at her across the chamber. The imbalance in the member for Murdoch’s struggle with the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure reminds of the imbalance when he played against Austin Robinson, a former Subiaco full forward - a shocking imbalance. Dr K.D. Hames : They’re your side as well. You should hear what they say. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : Did the member for Dawesville, paragon of virtue, receive a campaign donation from the Peel Health Campus? Dr K.D. Hames : No. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : Is the member sure about that? Dr K.D. Hames : I’m 99.99 per cent sure. Several members interjected. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : Did the member for Dawesville stand in this Parliament and attack the government for allowing the Peel Health Campus to cancel elective surgery over Christmas and New Year by not providing sufficient funds? Dr K.D. Hames : Absolutely. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : That privately operated campus donated $10 000 to the Liberal Party and nothing to the government. Point of Order Dr S.C. THOMAS : Standing order 78 still states that an answer must be relevant to the question. The SPEAKER : That is completely true and therein lies the problem with interjections. If a member interjects, the person on his feet is required to answer. Questions Without Notice Resumed Dr K.D. Hames : Did they donate to the Labor Party? Mr A.J. CARPENTER : No, they did not donate to the Labor Party, strangely; they donated to the Liberal Party, though. Was the member for Dawesville a beneficiary of that? Dr K.D. Hames : I have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever. Mr A.J.

CARPENTER : Did the member for Dawesville, paragon of virtue, receive a campaign donation from the Peel Health Campus? Dr K.D. Hames : No. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : Is the member sure about that? Dr K.D. Hames : I’m 99.99 per cent sure. Several members interjected. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : Did the member for Dawesville stand in this Parliament and attack the government for allowing the Peel Health Campus to cancel elective surgery over Christmas and New Year by not providing sufficient funds? Dr K.D. Hames : Absolutely. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : That privately operated campus donated $10 000 to the Liberal Party and nothing to the government. Point of Order Dr S.C. THOMAS : Standing order 78 still states that an answer must be relevant to the question. The SPEAKER : That is completely true and therein lies the problem with interjections. If a member interjects, the person on his feet is required to answer. Questions Without Notice Resumed Dr K.D. Hames : Did they donate to the Labor Party? Mr A.J. CARPENTER : No, they did not donate to the Labor Party, strangely; they donated to the Liberal Party, though. Was the member for Dawesville a beneficiary of that? Dr K.D. Hames : I have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : If the member for Vasse has those sort of concerns, the state Labor government has established the ideal forum for those concerns to be raised, and it is called the Corruption and Crime Commission. I invite the member to go down there and do it.
