The
utmost consideration in the delivery of all clinical services is patient
safety.
Several
members interjected.
The Speaker: Members! Member for Roe!
Mr Roger Cook: It is patient safety.
Mr Shane Love interjected.
The Speaker: Leader of the Nationals WA, you have
asked the question. Premier.
Mr Roger Cook: Mr Speaker—
Mr Shane Love interjected.
The Speaker: Leader of the Nationals, I am calling you for the first time. Please stop your interjecting.
Mr Roger Cook: Clinical safety is our
utmost concern. We are guided by the clinical colleges, we are guided by the
guidelines that are nationally and internationally struck, and we make sure
that we keep looking after our patients as best—
Ms Libby Mettam interjected.
Mr Roger Cook: Mr Speaker, that is
one of the most despicable things I have heard in this place.
Ms Libby Mettam interjected.
The Speaker: Member for Vasse, stop
your interjecting, please.
Mr Roger Cook: What the member for
Vasse was trying to suggest by her interjection is that we deliberately put
patients into harm's way. What a despicable thing—
Ms Libby Mettam interjected.
The Speaker: Member for Vasse , I am
calling you for the first time. Stop your interjecting, please.
Mr Roger Cook: T hat is the tone the
opposition is trying to set in this place. I think it is time that we reflect
on the tone we are setting in this place and we all make sure that we do our
best—
Mr Basil Zempilas interjected.
The Speaker: Leader of the
Opposition, please stop your interjecting and let the Premier conclude his
remarks.
Mr Roger Cook: I said in the press
conference earlier today that the government sets the agenda for Parliament,
but the opposition sets the tone.
Several
members interjected.
The Speaker: Members of the
opposition, when you are finished, thank you.
Mr Roger Cook: The opposition should
reflect on the standards that the community demands from us in relation to the
conduct in this place.
Several
members interjected.
The Speaker: Members o f the
opposition!
Mr Roger Cook: Members who come into
this place with racist undertones in their interjections should reflect on
that. Members should apologise for their behaviour. I note today that there was
no apology, there was a withdrawal. I note that the last time the member for
Central Wheatbelt was asked to withdraw and apologise, he did not; he simply
apologised for not withdrawing. Mr Speaker, the tone we set in this place
matters, and it is up to the Leader of the Opposition to accept his
responsibility in relation to the conduct of members opposite or he should
resign.
