HOOD Legislative Council State Debt The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD (14:53): Supplementary: in espousing the benefits of the projects underway, are you dismissing the Auditor-General's concerns? The Hon. C.M. Scriven interjecting: The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Order! Members interjecting: The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Order! We have guests from the United States. Do we need to carry on like this today? Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, do you want to answer the question, or will we go to the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport? The Hon. E.S. BOURKE Legislative Council Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Minister for Autism Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Autism) (14:53): I am happy to. I do apologise to our guests here today. In regard to the Auditor-General's Report, if I was to point to things, of particular concern to me was the highlighting of the issues raised by the contracts that we were left with as a government. The privatisation agenda of those opposite, who were able to craft contracts, has now left us to fix up the mess that they have created. This ongoing obsession with privatisation means that they are the ones who have left the concerns within our reporting that we have to go about and fix up, constantly fix up, the mess that you left us, and that is what is highlighted in that report. The Hon. B.R. HOOD Legislative Council The Hon. B.R. HOOD: Supplementary. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: No—you are not listening anyhow. Members interjecting: The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Leader, I don't need your help.
