GOWRIE HOSTEL
Paper
MR COLLAERY (Minister for Housing and Community Services): In response to a question earlier today, I referred to a letter dated 10 August 1989 from the Minister for Administrative Services to the former Chief Minister. I now table that letter:
Gowrie Private Hotel - Sale - Copy of Letter from The Hon. Stewart West, MP, Federal Minister for Administrative Services to Ms R Follett, Chief Minister, dated 10 August 1989.
KAINE GOVERNMENT'S FIRST 100 DAYS
Discussion of Matter of Public Importance
MR SPEAKER: I have received a letter from Ms Follett proposing that a matter of public importance be submitted to the Assembly for discussion, namely:
The disgraceful performance of the Kaine Government during its first 100 days in office.
MS FOLLETT (Leader of the Opposition) (3.53): By whatever yardstick one chooses to measure it, the performance of the Liberal coalition Government has been disgraceful. I note that the Chief Minister is not here to take part in this debate. The Government's inability to provide business, consult on a program or stick to a plan in this Assembly has been a travesty of democracy. The reception that it gets at the football shows that it is reviled by the community.
Mr Collaery: I was with Graham Richardson.
Dr Kinloch: He was with Senator Richardson.
Mr Collaery: We were both booed.
Mr Duby: There were bigger boos for Senator Richardson.
Dr Kinloch: Senator Richardson, boo!
Ms Maher: Senator Richardson, boo!
MR SPEAKER: Order!
MS FOLLETT: Mr Speaker, would you direct the schoolboys opposite to button their lips?
MR SPEAKER: I will take that on notice, Ms Follett.
Ms Maher: I object; I am a female.
MR SPEAKER: Order!
