MINISTERIAL CODE OF CONDUCT

Mr WILLIAMS (MacKillop—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (16:09): My question, again, is to the Premier. Has the Premier asked the Treasurer to explain his expletive laden tirade of abuse of a newspaper editor, and does the Premier concede that the Treasurer's personal conduct was unacceptable and in breach of clause 2.2 of the Ministerial Code of Conduct, which provides:

Ministers must ensure that their personal conduct is consistent with the dignity, reputation and integrity of parliament.

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Ramsay—Premier, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change) (16:09): I think the deputy leader has already addressed that publicly as well.
