CHARLES STREET PLANNING STUDY
724. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Minister for Transport:
I
have a supplementary question. Can the minister find in her consultation
process a better way of initiating discussion than going out and
shocking the community and causing fear and upset to hundreds of people who
fear that their homes are going to be bulldozed?
Ms S.E. Winton interjected.
The SPEAKER : Order, member
for Wanneroo!

AnswerView source ↗
I am not sure how we can inform
someone of a plan if we do not show them the plan. I do not understand how to
do that. I do not understand how we engage with people unless there is a concept.
There is a concept, and people will provide feedback. People should be very
aware that we will not be bulldozing their homes. That is not what we do. It is
a concept.
As I said, members of the opposition
do nothing. They do nothing in opposition. Honestly! My team are saying, ''You're
not cracking any more gags.'' There is nothing to crack! There are no
gags there. Look at them! There are six of them, and they are doing nothing. I keep
trying to find some hooks, but they are doing nothing to actually reflect on.
Look at them!
Several members interjected.
Ms R. SAFFIOTI : It is
depressing looking at you! The six of you are sitting there looking down,
picking up some stupid comment from somewhere and framing a question. The
member for Vasse's question was like the full toss that she gives to
the Minister for Health all the time: is there currently a review of the St
John Ambulance contract? The minister has said it a hundred times! But that is
the member's number one question! I mean, it is so bad!
Several members interjected.
Point of Order
Mr R.S.
LOVE : Point of order, Speaker.
The
SPEAKER : Order, please! Member, if your point of order is about
relevance, I am about to advise the minister that she has strayed from
answering the original question.
Mr R.S. LOVE : Thank you.
The SPEAKER : And I am
guessing that she has either finished or is close to finishing her response.
Have you finished, minister?
Ms R.
SAFFIOTI : Yes, I am done.
