Ministerial Responsibility

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:02): Supplementary: does the minister understand the optics of how it looks if he won't say whether or not he understands his briefings?

The PRESIDENT: That's debating the question, the honourable Leader of the Opposition. You can't ask that as a supplementary. The Hon. Mr Hunter, you rose to your feet and were seeking a supplementary. I give you the call.
