Finnigan, Hon. B.V.

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (14:42): Supplementary question: given that the former federal Labor government would not accept the vote of Mr Craig Thomson, why is this government not adopting the same attitude?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:42): I have already answered the question. The Premier has been quite clear in this matter and I have nothing further to add.
