have 1 200 beds, if the Minister for Lands, who is part of the PremierXXX ###XXXs cabinet, is saying he will not sign an
agreement anywhere over 600 beds, does the Premier now have no alternative but
to sack that minister for breaking the law, as you describe it, and defying the
wishes of the Premier and the cabinet?
