AnswerView source ↗
A doubling of the funding—who made that promise? Mr E.S. Ripper : The Productivity Commission. Mr C.J. BARNETT : The Productivity Commission under government; fantastic! Mr E.S. Ripper : That’s the proposal. Mr C.J. BARNETT : The proposal of the Productivity Commission! Members opposite are so driven and controlled by Canberra. Only last week, when the Prime Minister of Australia contemplated sending unaccompanied children to a Third World nation—young girls and boys by themselves—not one member opposite would stand up for the rights of those children, not one of them. They are so driven by Canberra. Several members interjected. Mr D.A. Templeman : You’re a pompous little idiot! The SPEAKER : There are two people — Mr A.P. O’Gorman interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Joondalup, I formally call you to order for the first time today, along with the member for Forrestfield and the member for Mandurah. I hope you are all enjoying yourselves today. Mr A.P. O’Gorman interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Joondalup, I formally call you to order for the second time today. Mr E.S. Ripper : Are you going to set up that reference group or not, Premier? You wouldn’t answer the question about the community reference group. Are you going to set it up or not? Mrs M.H. Roberts : That was the supplementary question. Mr E.S. Ripper : Twice I asked you; twice you refused to answer. Mr P.B. Watson Hide behind the Speaker. The SPEAKER : Member for Albany, I formally call you to order for the first time today, along with the Leader of the Opposition and the member for Midland. I want to hear from only one person and that is the member for Swan Hills.
