Written responses

The PRESIDENT (12:31): Regarding questions and answers today: Mr Davis’s first question to Ms Symes, one day; Mr Bourman, two days, question and supplementary, Ms Pulford; Dr Ratnam to the Premier, Ms Symes, two days, question and supplementary; Mr Hayes to planning, Ms Stitt, two days, question and supplementary; and Mr Grimley to family violence, Ms Stitt, two days, question and supplementary.

Mr DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan—Leader of the Opposition) (12:32): I desire to move, by leave:

That under standing order 11.01 the Ashton report on ESTA’s failings be tabled by the Leader of the Government in the house within three days of the passage of this motion.

Leave refused.

Ms Symes: On a point of order, President, in regard to your wrap-up of answers to be provided, I was of the view that I answered Mr Davis’s questions.

The PRESIDENT: I know you went through the answer, Ms Symes, but the question was how much, I believe. I will review my decision after I look at Hansard.

Mr Davis: I am actually going to agree with the leader and say I think she did answer the first part in the second part, so she came later with the actual answer, which was $28 million. But what she did not do was answer the question in the second part, which was the $10 million. If that is not correct, what is the actual figure?

The PRESIDENT: Order! I will check Hansard.
