Wage Theft

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:40): Supplementary: will the government audit payroll processes across all government agencies?

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! You wouldn't be surprised to know that didn't come out of the answer. Would you like to ask your third question, the honourable Leader of the Opposition?

The Hon. N.J. Centofanti: If you look at the list, it's not me.

The PRESIDENT: Sorry; pardon me. The Hon. Ben Hood.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: That was fun. Respect to the crossbench, who are not participating in this time-wasting exercise. Let's go with the Hon. Ben Hood.

An honourable member interjecting:

The Hon. B.R. HOOD: Should I sit down again, Mr President, or just get on with it?

The PRESIDENT: Would you like to ask a question?

The Hon. B.R. HOOD: I would like to.

The PRESIDENT: That would be lovely.
