Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 438 asked in the Legislative Assembly on 23 June 2022 by Mr R.S. Love

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

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.
