MAJOR PROJECTS — STATUS
438. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question. The
Auditor General, as recently as this week, when she dropped the report at
Parliament's steps, identified that transparency could be improved. Is
she wrong?
Mr M.
McGOWAN replied:
I have outlined to the member the
initiatives we have put in place. We are fully accountable to Parliament. I am
standing here. The member can ask me any question on any of these projects—give
me some notice and I will provide it. We have put in place all of the
transparency initiatives I have just announced.
In the interests of transparency, I want
to outline to the house some of the opposition's policies. The
opposition went live today with the
opposition alliance website, which is about the sorts of things it is up to.
One of the parts of the opposition alliance website is ''Our
policies''. When we click on ''Our policies'', guess what?
Nothing! There is nothing there. Then if we click on ''Our values'',
guess what? There is nothing there. In other words, it is a self-confessed no
values and no policies opposition. Where are its policies? Where are its
values? Everyone is looking for them; we cannot find them. I suppose the
opposition is being completely transparent. There is complete honesty and
complete transparency by this opposition! It is being totally truthful in
relation to its policies and values; that is, it has none.
The SPEAKER: That was a little
bit of a long bow in terms of an answer to a supplementary. Take it on notice.
