QuestionView source ↗

I refer the Premier to reports by Market Equity Research and Strategy titled “Community Attitude Monitor” for April, July, November and December 2004 - in the lead-up to the election - which amount to little more than blatant Labor Party push polling designed to tell people about Labor initiatives rather than seek community views on important matters. (1) Will the Premier admit that this amounts to little more than push polling designed to implement the Labor Party’s agenda at the last election? (2) Will the Premier now request that the Labor Party pay the bill for this research? Several opposition members: Hear, hear! Dr G.I. GALLOP
