AnswerView source ↗
I have a question in my file from Hon Ed Dermer that is addressed to the Leader of the House representing the Treasurer. I presume it is the same question as the one Hon Ken Travers just asked. I do not know whether there is some confusion about who should ask these questions; it could be a simple error somewhere along the line. I am giving the answer to Hon Ed Dermer on the basis he provided the question. Hon Ken Travers : I remember dictating it to my electorate officer this morning. Hon NORMAN MOORE : Then she does not know who Hon Ken Travers is. What a shame! Perhaps he should tell her his name. Hon Ken Travers : It is a he; you’re gender stereotyping. Hon NORMAN MOORE : I am happy to make available time for Hon Ken Travers to ask extra questions if he wishes because we know that whenever he asks a question, it is a dorothy dixer for the government. I thank Hon Ed Dermer for some notice of the question and Hon Ken Travers for asking it. (1) Yes (2) Consistent with the requirements of the Government Financial Responsibility Act 2000, the impact of the decisions made after the budget cut-off date will be fully disclosed in the 2009-10 midyear review, which is required to be released by 31 December 2009. (3)-(4) Answered by (2).
