Question on notice 366
Answer advice
Ms Simone McGurk (Fremantle—Minister for Creative Industries) (2:47 pm): Mr Speaker, I will just provide some clarification. I have just inquired with my office. I am very conscientious about making sure that we get questions back in time. I tried to submit the answer to that question, but the office is full. The question is in the system; it has actually been submitted. The fact that the member has not received it does not make it late.
The Speaker: Thank you, minister.
Point of order
Mr Lachlan Hunter: We obviously rely on the Parliament and this chamber to provide us with those answers. They are not in the portal. When they are answered, they are printed out and put on our seats. We do not have them, so the minister should not accuse us of making up the fact that the answers are late.
The Speaker: Thank you, member for Central Wheatbelt. I shall not uphold that point of order, but it is an interesting situation.
