Ombudsman Investigation, Member for Bragg

The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD (15:20): Supplementary: is the editor of The Advertiser wrong?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Attorney-General, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:20): Not at all and I will defend our independent media, regardless of the aspersions the Hon. Dennis Hood wants to make, regardless if the Hon. Dennis Hood thinks The Advertiser gets things wrong. I don't agree with that.

The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD: Point of order: the member knows I did not say that and did not imply that. I ask that it be withdrawn.

The PRESIDENT: Minister, I think you are going a stretch too far.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: I have great respect for the media and the profession of journalism.
