Ministerial Staff

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:58): My question is to the Premier. In the event that the email that has been referred to is brought to his attention, what action will the Premier take against the ministerial staffer in respect of the allegations made in that statement?

The SPEAKER: It seems hypothetical to me.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:59): After the deputy leader considers that question and gives a response to the house, and after the minister has a communication with his chief of staff and finds out the content or otherwise of any said email, presumably, an analysis will be made of the issue and the appropriate steps will be taken. As I said in the debate earlier today, I think it's an important matter that members of this house conduct themselves in civility and that also goes for people who act in our name, that is, people who are employed as ministerial staff.
