368. Ms L. METTAM to the Minister for Health:
I have a supplementary question. The
wait list has expanded significantly since 2017. Regardless of the minister's
excuses, the number of over-boundary cases —
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER: Members! Member,
it appears to me that you are again making a statement rather than asking a question.
I ask you to ask a brief supplementary question, or I will sit you down.
Ms L. METTAM: When will the
minister start taking her job seriously, stop playing politics and point to
when these issues across the health system will be addressed?
Point of Order
Mr D.A.
TEMPLEMAN: There were actually three questions in that supposed
supplementary question, and it really should be ruled out of order.
The
SPEAKER: Member for Vasse, you have had more warnings than others. I
will give the minister a brief opportunity to respond to the tenor of your
supplementary question.
Questions without Notice Resumed
Ms A.
SANDERSON replied:
That is extraordinary, coming from
an opposition that is the biggest joke in the history of Western Australia.
Talk about taking your job seriously; look
at the data, do the work and do the research. Your performance in here
yesterday was embarrassing. It is embarrassing for every person in here
who takes their job seriously. You blow in here with little stunts; it is pathetic. You are paid to do this job. Start taking
it seriously. We are talking about people who take their job seriously.
I did not think it was possible to get a worse opposition than the one in the
last Parliament, but you have achieved that. Well done! You have achieved the
status of worst opposition in the history of this state.
