Let us focus on the word hypocritical. What hypocrisy for the Leader of the Opposition to ask that question given that whenever those two gentlemen are mentioned in connection with any issue in Western Australian politics, quick as a flash the Leader of the Opposition asks questions in this place. Therein lies the hypocrisy. The hypocrisy is on the Opposition’s side on this issue.
