Community Infrastructure Grant Program

Mr COWDREY (Colton) (14:43): As I understand it, the answer provided to me from the Treasurer on notice stated that the Eyre to There Aviation company received $50,000 from the Community Infrastructure Grant Program managed by the Office for Sport, Recreation and Racing.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Point of order.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Member for Colton, there is a point of order from the Leader of the Government Business, which I will hear under 134.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Standing order 97: he is offering an argument and an opinion and stating as fact within the question, which is disorderly under the standing orders.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! I understand that the question arises from a response to a question on notice.

Mr COWDREY: I am happy to rephrase the question.

The SPEAKER: Very well, member for Colton.

Mr COWDREY: Does the Treasurer disagree—and with your leave, and that of the house, I will explain, sir.

The SPEAKER: Well, a number of matters come to my mind.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Member for Colton, the first is that a disagreement is most certainly an argument within the terms of the standing order, so perhaps you might have another opportunity to recast the question or a supplementary.
