POLICE — DISTRICT ALLOWANCES AND RENTS
I have a supplementary question. Can the minister confirm that the message in this Western Australian Police Union advertisement, which I am holding, that proclaims the minister has done nothing to honour his election promises reads as follows — Promises, promises.…Brendon….but you’ve done nothing! Is that not correct? Mr B.J. GRYLLS

I will give the member for Pilbara a promise: $25 million in 2010–11, $25 million in 2011–12 and $25 million in 2012–13 under the direct line item “Regional Workers Incentives”. Mrs M.H. Roberts interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Midland, I have been reasonably tolerant today, I think, but I have probably reached the end of my tolerance with respect to your interjections and I formally call you for the third time.
