Will the Premier commit that the Treasurer will answer every question he is asked regarding the Gillman land deal, because, as the Premier has previously stated, 'serious questions deserve serious answers'?</text>

          <by role="member" id="1812">The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:22):</by>  Thank you, Mr Speaker, but passing strange that a question should be asked about questions when they ran out of questions about Gillman halfway through yesterday's question time—a bit embarrassing really. This was the big star turn for the week; anyway.</text>
        <text id="20151015b1df8b828f9d437c90000435">Let's just be a bit realistic. Let's be a bit realistic about questions and their answers. There have been more answers to questions under my leadership in relation to question time than have ever existed in this place. I must say, the tone in which we have given the answers has, by and large, I venture to suggest, been more civil than perhaps in earlier times. I think that, from time to time, when provoked, when the animal is attacked, it will defend itself, but, by and large, there has been an improvement in the tone and the civility of this place, so I don't think there can be any criticism of the amount of information or the manner in which it's been progressed by my government.</text>
