Public Holidays

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:35): Supplementary: does this state have the highest number of public holidays in the country?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:35): I thank the honourable member for the sensible supplementary. The answer is: before these reforms are enacted, no; after these reforms are enacted, no. And the Hon. Heidi Girolamo, now being fully aware of this, would do well—and I don't often give advice to the opposition—to consider whether the honourable member needs to correct the record as soon as becoming aware, because it would be a very interesting result indeed if a Privileges Committee was moved.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Mr Pangallo is on his feet. So do you have a supplementary question?

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: Yes, I do.
