In relation to the visit the Premier had with Queen Elizabeth II, I ask:
(a) is the Premier aware that the Queen has attested to her enjoyment of the film The King’s Speech;
(b) is the Premier aware of the strong Perth connections to the story of Lionel Logue, the Perth thespian and elocutionist who helped the Queen’s father deal with his stutter;
(c) Why has the Premier not ordered the Minister for Culture and the Arts to progress Labor’s Bill to recognise the Performing Arts Museum at His Majesty’s Theatre in a timely manner so Queen Elizabeth II can be invited to launch the museum during her visit; and
(d) is the Premier aware that Western Australia’s own Performing Arts Museum, curated by Ivan King at His Majesty’s Theatre, contains significant memorabilia regarding Logue’s time in Perth?
