LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT FACILITATION PANEL

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:42): Without comment, yes, Mr President. Is the minister saying that he is refusing to investigate all matters before he makes a decision?

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (14:43): The boundary adjustment committee is an independent body and answerable to the minister. I don't get involved in any process. When I finally get a report and a decision, I will then make a decision.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Mr Wade, is it a supplementary or a new question?

The Hon. S.G. WADE: No, a new question.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Well, if you can control your own side, I will let you.
