Romaldi, Mr M.

Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (14:27): My question is again to the Premier. Why did the Premier's statement to the media yesterday specifically highlight that Mr Romaldi's comments were made some years ago? Does the Premier consider that the time frame somehow lessens their impact?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:27): No, I think I was just highlighting the fact that they certainly weren't made while he was a commissioner, but that in no way diminishes the offensive nature of those comments.
