Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 595 asked in the Legislative Assembly on 14 October 2021 by Mr R.S. Love

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

MINISTERS — GIFTS AND TRAVEL

595. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Premier:

I have a supplementary question. If members of the cabinet have nothing to hide, why will the Premier not commit to tabling that register?

Mr M. McGOWAN replied:

The register has been released. If the member for Moore has nothing to hide, why does he not release all the events that he goes to? Why does he not release all of the functions and events that he goes to? Will he commit to that? Will he commit to all of the gifts?

Mr R.S. Love: Absolutely—if they are over the value of $500, as required under the financial interests act.

Mr M. McGOWAN: Our gift register releases everything. Will the member for Moore release everything? Will the opposition release everything? Our gift register is there. All members opposite have to do —

Several members interjected.

Mr M. McGOWAN: I realise that the report done by Mr Trowell and—who was the other one who did the report?—Mr Keenan and the other Liberal Party luminaries described the Liberal Party as staggeringly lazy, but I would say that the National Party is monumentally lazy because if the member cannot ask a question on notice, if that is beyond his capability, I am sure we can get some instructions for the member from the officers of the Parliament.
