AnswerView source ↗
I did not realise Hon Peter Foss would join in and try to answer today’s questions. Hon Simon O’Brien can do it well enough on his own! Hon Simon O’Brien interjected. Hon KEN TRAVERS: If that is his view, I might sit down. Points of Order Hon NORMAN MOORE: This is the second time in two days that a question has been asked and the parliamentary secretary has said that he will not answer it. I ask that he either give a proper explanation about why he is not answering or answer the question. The PRESIDENT: The parliamentary secretary does not have to answer. It should be recorded that the parliamentary secretary has not answered. Hon SIMON O’BRIEN: I asked a question of the parliamentary secretary that I think he was about to answer until there was an exchange by interjection on unrelated matters with another member. If that is now resolved - The PRESIDENT: There is no point of order. Questions without Notice Resumed
