Legislative Council President

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:05): I have a supplementary question. Given the minister's refusal to endorse you, Mr President, does the minister believe that these serious allegations of union corruption made against the Hon. Mr Wortley should be considered by the federal government's royal commission on union corruption?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:05): I have answered the question. The question is completely irrelevant, and the Hon. Rob Lucas knows it is. He knows that he is muckraking. He knows that he is trying to score cheap political points, and I challenge him to behave himself in this place in a dignified way.
