LABOR PARTY

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (15:10): My question is to the Premier. Does the Premier and his senior ministers treat other Labor MPs with contempt and has he been warned by backbench MPs that he has one last chance? One Labor MP has told the media in regard to complaints by the Hon. Bernie Finnigan—

The SPEAKER: Order! I have already said that I will not give leave for explanations which are simply quotes from newspapers. The Premier.

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Ramsay—Premier, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change) (15:10): No such warning was given, and by the tenor and tone of the member's question, I can only assume he is suffering from gout.
