Whale Removal

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:32): Will the minister give an undertaking to this chamber to actually, as he often does, bring back an answer instead of just being so smug and sitting down without a decent answer?

The PRESIDENT: Order! The honourable Leader of the Opposition is out of order. Minister.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (14:32): At last, Mr President, the honourable member has recalled what the appropriate forms are in this place and has asked me to take that question to the appropriate minister. Perhaps he wasn't sure who it was, but I can advise him that I will—

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: I have to go back to Shanghai to take back all the good things I said about the government over there—what a bloody joke!

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: If the honourable member put those lovely views about the government on the record, I would be very pleased to see them—

The PRESIDENT: It's on Hansard.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: —and utilise them in the appropriate places. As I say, that question about the transfer of responsibility in terms of the tidal zone I will take to the minister in the other place and ask him for a response on behalf of the Hon. Mr Ridgway.
