Members, we are happy to help Katy out with her vision, which is “Kate Carnell lite”. After 12 years of doing nothing, she is going back to what this Liberal Party did back in 1996 when it was first elected and did very successfully. If Katy has problems understanding her vision, if she wants to be—

MR HANSON: Ms Gallagher; my apologies, Madam Speaker. If the Chief Minister wants to be “Kate Carnell lite” and she needs help—I do not think anyone would deny that she does need help—we from the opposition benches are only too glad to assist because we do understand this stuff. We do recognise its importance.

I look forward to the results of that committee. Maybe we can get Kate Carnell to appear before that committee as an expert witness to explain what it is that she did and this government has not. I look forward to watching that committee in action.
Question resolved in the affirmative.

This bill was previously introduced in the Seventh Assembly and lapsed in October. It was reintroduced in November 2012.
