Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:36): Under standing order 107, I direct a question to the Hon. Ms Gago regarding her matter of interest in this place on 19 October regarding sexism and rape culture. Given the member's comments, has the honourable member raised concerns with her colleague the Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation regarding his appalling behaviour and language used at Rigoni's restaurant on 17 November?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (14:37): I thank the honourable member for her question. Indeed, the Hon. Ian Hunter has apologised for his overzealous language—

Members interjecting:

The Hon. G.E. GAGO: —overzealous and inappropriate language. He has apologised. He has acknowledged and recognised that it was inappropriate language, which he has apologised for, and I think it was sound of him to do that.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!
