393. Mr M. McGOWAN to the Premier:
I ask a supplementary question. I ask again: two days before
the election, a document was released by the Liberal Party that indicated the
Premier's promises would add $1.2 billion to net debt. Does the Premier
stand by that document?

AnswerView source ↗

I stand by the budget that the Treasurer will bring down at
two o'clock. The Leader of the Opposition comes into this place and asks
questions about the election. How did he go in the election?
Mr B.S. Wyatt interjected.
The SPEAKER :
Member for Victoria Park, I call you to order for the first time. I do not want
people drowning out the answer.
Mr C.J. BARNETT :
The Leader of the Opposition, with his inept, outdated and silly questions
gives us a bit of a clue why he led the Labor Party to the worst result it has
had since 1917.
