CYCLONE SEROJA —
TEMPORARY WORKERS' ACCOMMODATION
757. Mr V.A. CATANIA to the Minister for Emergency Services:
I
have a supplementary question. Minister, is it the failure for you to deliver
much-needed workers' accommodation because of your short-term
contract being offered and unviable to the private providers to build the
much-needed workers' accommodation?

The member's question makes
no sense and bears no connection to reality.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Members!
Members, I am hoping we can bring question time to a close very quickly.
Minister, if you could respond, please.
Mr R.R. WHITBY : I have,
Madam Speaker, but I will repeat it. The question is nonsense. It bears
absolutely no relevance to what is going on. The member is uninformed and he
might be embarrassed —
Point of Order
Mr D.A.
TEMPLEMAN : The Speaker has ruled on interjections from the member
for North West Central. He continues and persists; I think he should be dealt
with appropriately.
The SPEAKER : Minister, I
think you have answered the question, probably repetitively by now, so I might
call question time to a close.
