Does the Leader of the Opposition regard Peter Stubbs as not being a suitable candidate for the job? Mr E.S. Ripper : Answer the question. Mr B.J. GRYLLS : Opposition members are in this Parliament every day slurring whomever they can find. I will make the announcement on Peter Stubbs when it is appropriate to do so. For opposition members to come into the Parliament and try to slur the name of that person who has done so much for the east Kimberley is yet another example of why they find themselves on that side of Parliament. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Before I allow the next question, I formally call the member for North West to order for the first time.
