COVID-19 Travel Restrictions

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:06): Supplementary in relation to the answer given about the reopening of borders: minister, when your chief executive said in a public forum yesterday, 'It's not our expectation there would be no quarantine, even for double vaccinated people at this stage, in relation to borders opening', which completely contradicted what your Premier said the week before—

The PRESIDENT: Order! Supplementary question.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: —was the Premier being deliberately misleading or just grossly incompetent the week before?

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: If the minister chooses not to answer.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: Point of order, sir.

The PRESIDENT: No.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: The answer was in relation to the reopening of borders and that is what the question was directly about.

The PRESIDENT: That's right, and the minister has chosen not to answer and I can't make him.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Mr Ngo has a supplementary.
