|
| 26/09/2007 | From
Commission on Government: Establishment Motion [Moore] "Some ministers in this government treat the process of question time with total contempt. Hon Peter Collier will tell members about a regular event: he has questioned the Minister for Education and Training a number of times and received the answer, “Put the question on notice.” [Llink-1] "The first was a question asked by Hon Peter Collier, the shadow Minister for Education and Training, who was told again that there was no answer provided; that just happens every day. The Minister for Education and Training, who is one of those members whose ambition greatly exceeds his ability and who spends half his life trying to be a hit man in the Assembly, continues to ignore legitimate questions asked by a member in this chamber. It is time that old “Sneakers” got his priorities right and made sure that he did the job he was elected to do." [Link-2] Also see example above. |
