DEVELOPMENTWA PROJECT —
MIDDLETON BEACH
867. Mr A. KRSTICEVIC to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Members! I want
to hear this.
Mr A. KRSTICEVIC : Given that
the development will be available on the open market, can the Premier confirm
whether any of the residential properties will be available for social housing?
Dr A.D. Buti : Why? Do you
want to buy them?
The SPEAKER : Member!
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Members, as funny as it was, I call the
member for Armadale to order for the first time.

The member for Carine knows a bloke! He has a friend who
wants to buy the Homeswest properties. We have seen that before with the member
for Carine.
When the member for Carine asks supplementary questions, I am
reminded of that great scene in Rocky when Burgess Meredith, who plays
Mickey, is telling Rocky, ''Don't get up; stay down!'' My
advice to the member on asking supplementary questions is, ''Stay down;
don't get up'', because your supplementary is even worse than
your original question!
We are providing social
housing all over Western Australia. We have announced the best part of a billion
dollars' worth of packages for repairs and new housing
initiatives for lower income people, and new social housing all over Western Australia. The member for Carine confuses
those two issues. The role of DevelopmentWA is to put in place great
job-generating projects. That the member does not even understand that the role
of this organisation is to fix longstanding issues like Middleton Beach once
again shows how inept and unfit for office the Liberal Party in this state is.
The SPEAKER : That is the end of question time.
