ALBANY ELECTORATE —
PRE-ELECTION PLAN
924. Mrs L.M. HARVEY to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
Given the Premier's answer applauding the actions of the member for
Albany, can the Premier advise whether the member for Albany has contacted him
with respect to these businesses and workers who no longer have work at Albany
wind farm; and, has the member for Albany approached the Premier's
office to get $6.6 million of funding for the GenesisCare cancer centre?
Several members interjected.
Mrs L.M. Harvey : You said he
was a great member. My question is relevant to his answer. He didn't
answer anything about the wind farm.
The SPEAKER : Member for
Scarborough, you have asked your question! Even though I am hurt by it, I want
to hear it.

AnswerView source ↗

My God, this is the worst
opposition, I think, in the history of Western Australia, and that is saying
something! I mean honestly, it is! Look at its questions! Look at the way it
acts in here! Look at the Leader of the Opposition —
Several members interjected.
Mr M. McGOWAN : I mean
honestly. I saw the looks on your faces when the Leader of the Opposition got
thrown out and the way he acted, and you were embarrassed.
Several members interjected.
Mr M. McGOWAN : You were. You
were. You were.
Several members interjected.
Mr M. McGOWAN : I have sitting
two to my right, the Minister for Energy. If the member has any of these
claims, he could have been asked. I have the Minister for Health sitting to my
right if the member is asking about some health-related issue that I am unaware
of. I am proud of all the work we have done in Albany, and I am proud of the
work the member for Albany has done.
