Emergency Management Act

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:13): My question is to the Premier. Was the Premier unable to get the support of his own party room last night for his proposed changes to the Emergency Management Act?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:13): We certainly don't canvass issues in our joint party room here in the parliament—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: All I can say is that we had a full agenda last night. We had a comprehensive program that consisted of bringing forward policies and legislation here in the parliament.
