Pyle, Ms Jillian

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (15:15): Will the minister in her final three days answer the question? Was a consultant brought in to clean up the mess that was left when this person was on paid leave?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:16): I answered the question. Again, the honourable member simply does not listen. Not only does he come in here and make things up, he does not listen.

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: Where's the answer?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO: You go back and read Hansard, you lazy thing. You are completely lazy. I have answered that question.

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: I just asked it a minute ago.

The Hon. G.E. GAGO: And I just answered it a minute ago. The honourable member makes things up, plucks things from the air. I answered the question; I said I don't believe so. If the honourable member would like me to check, I am happy to do that. As I said, it is completely mischievous and it is a completely dishonourable thing to be doing to this woman, who is, as I said, innocent until proven guilty.
