AnswerView source ↗
Mr Albert has given a very long and, I thought, fairly rigorous press conference during which he was asked - An opposition member: So you’re hiding him? Mr A.J. CARPENTER : He is now a private citizen. He departed the public sector after what was a fairly difficult conversation with me, one to one. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : I call to order the members for Murdoch and Roe. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : I heard that comment from the member for Murdoch. The one thing that makes me different from some of the people he knows is that if I want to stab somebody, it will be in the chest, mate; it will not be in the back. Did the member for Vasse hear that? If I ever want to execute someone, I will stand in front of him and do it. I will not run behind him and cut his throat from behind or stab him in the back. There is a fairly significant difference. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, members! Mr A.J. CARPENTER : If members ever have to do that, one of the tricks in this sort of life is never to allow themselves to find it pleasurable!
