The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:25): Supplementary arising: can the minister explain why it is unnecessary detail?

The PRESIDENT: Minister, just before you answer that, that is obviously not arising from the original answer. I will allow the supplementary question, if the minister would like to answer it, because of the seriousness of the topic, but remember it is supposed to be from the original answer.

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:25): I would just pose the question back to the honourable member. Perhaps she might like to ask—

The Hon. E.S. Bourke: I am not the minister.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: Excuse me, could I get an opportunity to answer? She is hectoring me.

The Hon. E.S. Bourke: You look terrified. I would be terrified, too.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Bourke, let the minister answer.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: The honourable member might like to ask why the Queensland Labor minister, Steve Miles, reports on a local government basis. You might like to ask the Labor minister from Victoria why she reports on a local government basis. I will say that I am happy to be colleagues of theirs, reporting on a local government basis.
