AnswerView source ↗
I support BISPI and the Department of Consumer and Employment Protection upholding the law without fear or favour. When it has prima facie evidence - Several members interjected. The DEPUTY SPEAKER : Would members like to listen to the answer? Mr J.C. KOBELKE : Madam Deputy Speaker, I do not think they do, because they are so consumed with their own noise - the empty gong sounding - that they do not want to deal with the issues. They just want to make a lot of noise - noise, noise, noise; no substance, just noise. That is why the Leader of the Opposition has a 10 per cent rating; people quickly got past the good looks and went to the fact that there was an empty gong just making noise. Several members interjected. The DEPUTY SPEAKER : Are members on my left quite finished? Question time is about to be. Mr J.C. KOBELKE : The Department of Consumer and Employment Protection has shown that, without fear or favour, it seeks to uphold the law and administer the legislation. On that basis, it has had one successful prosecution against a company for breach of the Industrial Relations Act or regulations, it has had a number of successful prosecutions against members of the CFMEU, and it is progressing further matters. I fully support the action taken by the department in seeking to administer the act under which it operates without fear or favour against anyone who fails to comply with the requirements of the act. The DEPUTY SPEAKER : The member for Geraldton with the last question.
