Ministerial Code of Conduct

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:06): Can the Premier speak to the efficacy of that warning when the Treasurer, on radio this morning, was asked a question, 'Did you receive a warning from the Premier?' His answer was, 'No.'

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:06): Well, I can only repeat—

Mr Marshall: Some warning. I mean, he didn't even think he got one.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: Well, I think I have said publicly—

Members interjecting:

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: —that this conduct is conduct that will not be repeated and, if it is repeated, then there will be consequences. I don't know how much clearer I could be with the minister; and, if he hasn't got the message now, I don't think he will ever get the message.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I call to order the members for Kavel and Wright, and I warn for the first time the member for Schubert. Leader.
