❓ Mr. Grylls questions the Premier on the government's response to the public liability insurance crisis affecting regional communities. The Premier's response is largely evasive, devolving into political point-scoring and personal attacks.

QuestionView source ↗
Given that it has been more than a month since the meeting of state ministers to address the crisis in public liability insurance, can the Premier inform the House what the Government is doing to provide real solutions for regional communities that are suffering because they are unable to get insurance or premiums are prohibitively high? Dr GALLOP
AnswerView source ↗
As members know, a meeting of ministers from both national and State Governments was held recently. The week after next, those ministers will meet again. Hon Nick Griffiths will represent Western Australia at that meeting. Mr Barnett: Flying Virgin Blue, I hope. Dr GALLOP: I am sure he will fly on the best fare of the day. The Leader of the Opposition is a bit grumpy. It is interesting that the Opposition has raised the question of trust. I asked the member for Murdoch whether, on the trip on the MV Kalgoorlie , the matter of the leadership of the Parliamentary Liberal Party was raised. The member for Mitchell is always forthcoming in this Parliament, so I will ask him. Was the matter of the leadership of the Parliamentary Liberal Party raised on the trip on the MV Kalgoorlie ? Mr Barron-Sullivan: I will do a deal with you, Premier. The day you answer one of our questions properly, I will answer any question you want. Dr GALLOP: What about the skipper of the MV Kalgoorlie ? Did he raise it? Mr Birney: How dare you get the name of my boat wrong! It is the Kalgoorlie Connection ! Dr GALLOP: I apologise. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Members! Dr GALLOP: This Government will contribute to the debate that will take place in two weeks. It is very concerned about the problem of public liability insurance. This is a national issue, but the State is examining various measures in its own procedures and policy. Mr Barnett: It is a state issue. Dr GALLOP: I have not heard one suggestion from the Opposition about this issue. Mr Barnett: Yes, you have. Dr GALLOP: When was that? Mr Barnett: We put out a press release months ago saying what needed to happen. Dr GALLOP: No. The Leader of the Opposition made one point on the first day about the way public liability was dealt with in Western Australia. Since then, there has been silence. That is a good summary of the way the Opposition is going in Western Australia today.
