Conflict of Interest

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:38): These were actually cabinet decisions and the Treasurer is a member of cabinet.

The PRESIDENT: Was that a question to the Treasurer?

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: No, it was a point of order as to why this supplementary was in order, because these are actually cabinet decisions. The cabinet decides, the cabinet must take a note of why the decisions were made on any of these conflicts of interest. It's the Ministerial Code of Conduct, indeed under the charge of the Premier, but administered by the cabinet, and the Treasurer is a member of the cabinet and so he should know whether or not he was asked why—

The PRESIDENT: The member will resume her seat.

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: —the 'woke bloke' from Black—

The PRESIDENT: The member has made her point.

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: —thought that oil—

The PRESIDENT: The member will resume her seat!

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: —was a bridge too far but coal was not.

The PRESIDENT: The member will resume her seat! It is not a matter as to what the member refers to. It is a matter as to whether the supplementary related to the original answer, and in my view it didn't, and we are now going to move on to the Hon. Mr Wortley.
