I have a supplementary question. Will the Premier allocate just one water-related act to himself? Dr G.I. GALLOP
AnswerView source ↗
Does the Leader of the Opposition know what I have allocated to myself? I have allocated the responsibility for making sure that water is available to the people of Western Australia in the short term, the medium term and the long term. It is the first time in the state’s history that a Premier has taken responsibility for that matter. Mr M.J. Birney : You haven’t. You haven’t got any acts under your control. Dr G.I. GALLOP : If the Leader of the Opposition continues to pursue these issues, he will stay on that side of the house. The SPEAKER : I call to order the member for Darling Range.
