Questions

The SPEAKER: Mr Clerk, could we just stop the clock for one moment. I just want to provide the house with a point of clarification about any minister being able to answer a question. I quote the late Speaker Lewis from 2003, when he said:

The principle of unity in cabinet and its purpose is the basis upon which any minister may rise to answer a question put to the government, regardless of whether or not the honourable member making the inquiry has directed the question to that minister.

I hope that is explicit.

Mr Duluk: I reckon Jay took a lot from Leesa last year.

The SPEAKER: Member for Waite, that may be so, but you are called to order. Please resume the clock. The Leader of the Opposition has the call.
