CHILD PROTECTION INQUIRY

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:27): A supplementary, sir.

The SPEAKER: If it be a supplementary.

Mr MARSHALL: How does the Premier justify today's pay increase to the families of the western suburbs school, given that his own pronouncements in this place have said that Mr Harvey and Mr Blewett's actions were completely unacceptable?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts) (14:27): The wages are published in the ordinary course. There is accountability to the broader community about the salaries of all of the ministerial advisers. Every ministerial adviser has their salary published in the Gazette on a yearly basis.

Ms Chapman interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The Deputy Leader of the Opposition is called to order.
