MINISTER FOR HEALTH — PORTFOLIO
1207. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the Leader of the House representing
the Premier:
I refer to mounting speculation
about the future of the Minister for Health. Will Hon Roger Cook, MLA, retain
the health portfolio until Parliament resumes in February next year?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
What do you think the answer to
that is going to be?
Hon Tjorn Sibma: I don't
know; he doesn't seem to know. That's why I asked the question.
Nobody knows.
The PRESIDENT: Order!
Leader of the House.
Hon SUE ELLERY: Thank you,
President. I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.
The Premier does
not respond to rumours.
Several members
interjected.
The PRESIDENT:
Order! Nearly there, folks.
