We stand up to family and domestic
violence wherever we see it, which is the reason we are so committed to it and
committed to funding it. I want to know where the member opposite stands when

Several members interjected.
Point of Order
Mr R.S. LOVE : We are trying
to get a response from the Premier, not from the Deputy Premier. She has not
been asked a question. Could we please have some order restored so that we can
listen to the Premier's response.
The DEPUTY SPEAKER : Minister,
you are testing my patience today. Points of order will be heard in silence. I will
not uphold the point of order. Premier, please conclude your remarks.

DEPUTY SPEAKER : I will finish
question time if members do not want to hear the response from the Premier.
Mr R.H.

efforts to get this facility built. The Leader of the Liberal Party stood
behind those who would block this facility. The Leader of the Liberal Party
criticised my government, which took the necessary decisions to make sure this
facility got built. Today of all days, the Leader of the Liberal Party should
stay in her seat and stay quiet and just hope that the community does not
notice the very sorry role that she played in terms of developing this new
facility.
The DEPUTY SPEAKER : That
concludes question time.
