SOLAR HOT WATER REBATES

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:36): I have a supplementary question. How did country seniors benefit from the Premier's announcement yesterday?

The PRESIDENT: What does that have to do with it?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: He talked about the initiative. How did country seniors benefit?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (14:36): Perhaps I could ask the Leader of the Opposition how many retirement villages would qualify in many of the rural parts of our state and you would get the same answer.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: There are old people in the country, Paul.

The PRESIDENT: Order!

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Members are wasting a lot of their question time. We were late starting today because of the slowness of members to come into the chamber, and now they are wasting a lot of their question time.
