The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Leader of the Opposition) (14:13): My question is, again, to the Premier. Has the Premier heard the CFMEU advertisements running on FIVEaa radio? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. J.A.W. Gardner: What about standing order 98?

The SPEAKER: Order! That can be raised in the normal way.
