Trade, Tourism and Investment Minister

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:44): Final supplementary: given the minister's original answer outlined the sum total of his work in his portfolio as being pub crawls and winery tours, can he understand why the Premier refused to say that he supported him as a minister when the minister recently met with him?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:45): Mr President, I think that is a ridiculous question and I don't intend to answer it.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: Supplementary.

The PRESIDENT: No; no more supplementaries. We have to move on. We have expended almost half an hour and we need to get on. I am very keen to hear the Hon. Ms Franks' question. The Hon. Ms Franks, your question?
