MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING - PREMIER’S CONFIDENCE
I refer to the recent vote of no confidence in the Minister for Education and Training by the State School Teachers’ Union of WA that effectively makes it more difficult for her to do her job. Does the minister still have the Premier’s full confidence; and, if not, when will she be replaced in that role? Mr A.J. CARPENTER

I thank the member for Darling Range for the question. How many times have I answered this question in the past couple of weeks? When the member was the Minister for Health, were any such motions passed against him? Was there ever a motion of no confidence passed against him? Mr J.H.D. Day : I do not recall. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : I do not recall either, but I just thought that I would ask. What about when he was the Minister for Police and Emergency Services? I think there was. Mr C.J. Barnett interjected. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : I asked a question. It is difficult to not tell the truth in a question. The intellectual giant of Cottesloe has just asserted that I am not telling the truth because I have asked a question! I asked whether a motion of no confidence was ever passed against the member when he was the Minister for Police and Emergency Services. The member for Cottesloe says that I am not telling the truth! The member for Cottesloe is an absolute legend. What a success he was in the last election campaign with his outrageous attack on the logical sensibilities of humanity by thinking that water could flow from the north to the south of the state without it being paid for. Is that what he did? When I have lost confidence in the Minister for Education and Training, I will let the member know.
