MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT, CRIMINAL CHARGES

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:20): My question is to the Leader of the Government regarding the Labor member charged with child pornography. Given that the member's membership of the Australian Labor Party has lapsed, can the leader advise what is his status as a member of the Legislative Council?

The PRESIDENT: We are out of the barriers quick today. The honourable minister.

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (14:20): That is an absolutely outrageous question, a disgrace.
