DOUBLEVIEW PRIMARY SCHOOL
COMPLEX — OPENING
309. Hon MICHAEL MISCHIN to the Minister for Education and
Training:
I refer to the minister's
answer to my question without notice 286 of 2 April 2019 regarding the opening
of Doubleview Primary School. Given that the minister routinely in media
releases announcing the opening of school infrastructure
also provides an opportunity for local members of Parliament to make comments
that can be attributed to them, why will she not allow a similar
opportunity to Hon Liza Harvey, MLA, the member for Scarborough?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I am not sure that the honourable
member realises that some people are in government and some people are not.
Several members interjected.
The PRESIDENT: Order!
Hon SUE ELLERY: When the government
issues a media release, it is on behalf of the government. I am not sure what
it is that the member does not understand, after two years, about why he is
over there and why we are over here, but it is because we are in government and
he is not.
The PRESIDENT: I give the
call to Hon Donna Faragher.
Several members interjected.
The PRESIDENT: You might
want to show your colleague some respect and be quiet, and let her take the
call and actually ask the question, because you are chewing up her time.
