Written responses

The PRESIDENT (12:59): Minister Blandthorn will get an answer to Mr Bourman’s question from the Minister for Education under standing orders. I also note Ms Shing – outside the standing orders – will get an answer to Ms Payne from the Treasurer.

David Ettershank: On a point of order, President, on 7 February I raised a question for the Premier via the Attorney-General in relation to the government’s memorandum of understanding with the Israeli Ministry of Defense. My question to the Premier sought a response to whether the Premier would heed the demands for transparency and release that MOU. You ordered that a written response be provided on 9 February. No response has been forthcoming. It has been three months since that question was raised, and I ask that the Premier respond to my question as a matter of priority.

The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Mr Ettershank. I ask one of the ministers if they would mind following it up. Considering it was me that ordered it, I will follow it up as well.
