Fuel security round table
118. Mr Peter Rundle to
the Premier:
I have a
supplementary question. Why did the Premier not seek a bipartisan approach by
involving members of Parliament representing those affected communities—
Several members
interjected.
The Speaker: Members! Questions will be asked in
silence by both sides. Start again, member for Roe.
Mr Peter Rundle: Why did the Premier not seek a
bipartisan approach by involving members of Parliament representing those
affected communities? My door is still open.

Not only is his door
open, but it is unhinged!
Several members
interjected.
The Speaker: Members!
Mr Roger Cook: We are the government. We will meet
with industry and stakeholders to make sure that we can make decisions that can
effect change and make sure that we continue to monitor the situation. We have
not been out there sensationally beating up what is going on in the community.
Several members
interjected.
The Speaker: Members!
Several members
interjected.
The Speaker: Member for Central Wheatbelt, I have asked
you to stop interjecting. Please stop.
Mr Roger Cook: Mr Speaker, they are very sensitive. I
did not even actually accuse them of that, but they owned up to it pretty quick
smart.
We will meet with
industry and stakeholders today to see what a government that is prepared to
listen and act can do into the future.
