Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (15:15): Can the Premier advise the house what his government means when they say 'co-design a new engagement paradigm'?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (15:15): I think the truth is that does defy explanation.

The Hon. J.R. Rau: It speaks for itself—res ipsa loquitur.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: That's right. I think a Latin term is appropriate here: res ipsa loquitur.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Res ipsa loquitur? 'The thing speaks for itself.' The leader.
