MINISTERIAL APPOINTMENTS

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:39): As a supplementary question, has the position been offered to the Hon. Russell Wortley, and is his refusal to have his hair cut the impediment to appointing him?

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Public Sector Management, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for Gambling) (14:39): I cannot resist responding to this although it is not worthy of a response. Nevertheless, I really believe that the basis of that question comes from the personal envy that the Hon. David Ridgway has for the tremendous asset of the Hon. Russell Wortley. I believe the question is one of envy.

The PRESIDENT: Very well done. The Hon. Mrs Zollo.
