LIQUOR LICENSING HOURS

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14:53): By way of supplementary question, does the minister now concede that the government's attempts through the back door to get a voluntary lockout by 1 July have failed and will not be capable of being implemented by that date?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Police, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning) (14:55): It is not 1 July yet. The police have 66 of what effectively would be 87 licensed premises—

The Hon. R.I. Lucas interjecting:

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: I acknowledge that interjection and I hope it goes on the record because it illustrates the point I made. It is about time the deputy leader disowned the former leader, because frankly he is a disgrace.

The Hon. J.M.A. Lensink: What! I will do no such thing.

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: So, she supports him. We have the shadow minister, today the acting opposition leader, supporting attacks on the police of our state. You are a disgrace, too!

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!
