Women's Sporting Events

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:28): I have a supplementary question: can the minister reconcile the Premier's statement that 'instead of a major, tier 1 event you might go for, say, a woman's event'—what does the Premier mean by that?

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) (14:28): I do not accept any of the assertions made in this place by the opposition. We see them come in here day in and day out with misconstrued statements and inaccurate statements. We had them waving some figures in question time last week. They had no idea what the figures were and could not understand them. They made absolute fools of themselves, between the Hon. David Ridgway and the Hon. Rob Lucas. They did not have a clue. They were construing all sorts of things around those figures.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! Will you please have a little bit of respect for a woman who is on her feet as a minister giving an answer to one of your questions. Minister.

The Hon. G.E. GAGO: Thank you for your protection, sir. I do not accept any of the assertions made by the opposition. They regularly come into this place with inaccurate statements that are completely out of context.
