Question Time

Questions

The SPEAKER: The arrangement I have tried to promote is that the opposition will have the lion's share of the questions in question time and we won't have alternate questions contingent on good behaviour and the opposition cooperating with a fluent question time with a high number of questions. But for the last half hour the leader has just interjected almost continuously while the Premier has answered.

The Premier's remarks may well be provocative, but it is a fundamental breach of the understanding I have been trying to reach, and so I would ask the opposition to refrain from interjections or we will just go back to alternate questions, in which case the opposition will have far fewer questions than it has under the current dispensation. The member for Torrens.
