The Speaker: Members! Member for Cottesloe, you have
asked the question; you do not get a second go at it.

not touched the Treasurer once in a debate in this place. In fact, more often
than not, the shadow Treasurer avoids asking questions of the Treasurer because
she knows that she will be caught out. She knows that she will be exposed.
