LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — SUPREME COURT CASE
92. Dr D.J. HONEY to the Premier:
I was not asking for the Premier to
comment on the court case.
The SPEAKER: Member!
Dr D.J. HONEY: My
supplementary question —
The SPEAKER: Member, when I give
you —
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER: Order, please!
Member, when I give you the call for a supplementary question, it is for that;
it is not for you to engage in debate.
Dr D.J. HONEY: I have a supplementary
question. Can the Premier guarantee that his government will not interfere with
the completion of important court case 2717 of 2019 before the Supreme Court?
Mr M.
McGOWAN replied:
The
initial question asked by the Leader of the Liberal Party was: if the court
makes some judgement, what am I going to do, and am I going to overrule some
judgement of a court, the number and details of which I am unfamiliar with?
The whole premise of this question is based upon a breach of the standing
orders and somehow me interfering in some court case. Is it any wonder that the
member for Vasse looks so embarrassed sitting next to the Leader of the Liberal
Party?
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER: Order! Leader of
the Liberal Party, order, please! I am hoping to give the next question.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER: Minister, we
would like your government member to ask her question. Member for Bicton.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER: Member for
Armadale, order, please!
