PersolKelly
5. Mr Shane Love to the Premier :
I have a
supplementary question.
Given that response,
I have to ask whether the Premier is satisfied that the WA Electoral Commission
appears to have awarded an $86 million contract without there being any
oversight from his government?
Point of order
Dr Tony Buti: Standing order 77 is quite clear that
the member should not be seeking opinion. Subclause (2) states:
Questions should
not be repetitive, ask for an expression of opinion or seek legal
interpretation or opinion.
The Speaker: Thank you. I will not be upholding that
point of order.

notice resumed
Several members
interjected.
The Speaker: Members, the Premier has the call.

Can I commend the Attorney
General on that particular point of order; I thought it was quite well executed!
As I said in my
remarks, there will be an inquiry in relation to the conduct of the election. The
inquiry was established under the Public Sector Management Act, and all major
political parties were consulted in the establishment of that inquiry.
