CORONAVIRUS
— TESTING RATES
11. Dr D.J. HONEY to the Minister for Health:
I have a supplementary question. Is it not the case that the
minister is withholding critical information on possible exposure sites from Western
Australians that might prompt them to get tested?
Ms A. SANDERSON replied:
What an extraordinary and completely baseless accusation.
Dr D.J. Honey: You are. You just said that you were
withholding information.
Ms A. SANDERSON: It is not based on any fact
whatsoever.
Dr D.J. Honey: You just said you were not giving the
information out. You just said it yourself.
Ms A. SANDERSON: Absolutely not. The Premier, the Chief Health
Officer and I have stood up day after day and provided information about
exposure sites. What a disgraceful contribution from the Leader of the Liberal
Party that somehow this government has been hiding information when we are
very, very clear —
Several members interjected.
Ms A. SANDERSON: That is that exactly what he said. It
is pathetic. You are pathetic. You are a perfect example of irrelevance and you
have done that to yourselves over the last three years. It is absolutely
appalling and it does a grave disservice to
the community of Western Australia, who, frankly, deserve better than the
opposition they have.
