AnswerView source ↗
I said to the minister that I did not approve of the language that he used. He has taken on board the comments that I made. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! One member in this House - the member for Nedlands - has been called to order three times, and the member is coming very close to making that number four. I call on members to listen to what the Premier is saying. Dr G.I. GALLOP: The minister was honestly reporting to this Parliament what had occurred. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! I call the Leader of the National Party to order for the second time. Dr G.I. GALLOP: I ask every member opposite in this Parliament to say to the media, when the media asks them later today, that they have never used that form of language in any of the meetings they have attended. They cannot do it. This is typical Liberal hypocrisy. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! I call the member to Perth to order for the third time and the member for South Perth to order for the second time.
