Ministerial Travel

Mr KNOLL (Schubert) (14:52): My question is to the Minister for Tourism. Given that during estimates last week the minister said, 'I'm quite prepared to give you a copy of that receipt,' in relation to costs of accommodation in Edinburgh last year, is the minister now in a position to provide a copy of that receipt?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: Point of order.

The SPEAKER: Point of order.

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: Standing order 97: the question is disorderly.

The SPEAKER: The question is disorderly because?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: Because the member for Schubert proposes facts and argument prior to getting the leave of the house.

The SPEAKER: I think he had an initial clause saying 'given that'. He could have sought leave for it, but he has put the explanation as the initial clause of what I think is a one sentence question, so I will allow it. Minister.

The Hon. L.W.K. BIGNELL (Mawson—Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Tourism, Minister for Recreation and Sport, Minister for Racing) (14:53): I thank the member for the question. I gave that answer last week; it's the same answer this week. I'm happy for the opposition to have that receipt. I think they might already have it from an FOI from before—I don't know—but I'm happy for them to have the receipt.
