Minister for Planning and Developer Political Party Donations

Mr BARRY O'FARRELL: My question is directed to the Premier. With yet another developer getting the nod from the Minister for Planning after thousands of dollars were donated to Labor, why has the Premier failed to implement the Independent Commission Against Corruption's six-month-old recommendations that development applications lodged by political donors with the Minister for Planing should be subject to a commission or inquiry, expert report or other arm's length safeguards? Is the Premier under orders from Sussex Street fundraisers?

Mr MORRIS IEMMA: That is a bit rich, Barry, coming from a former State director of the Liberal Party whose main responsibility was raising funds.

Mr Barry O'Farrell: Point of order

The SPEAKER: Order! The Premier has barely started his answer.

The SPEAKER: Order! The Leader of the Opposition will cease interjecting.

Mr MORRIS IEMMA: In the reforms that are in draft by the Minister for Planning he in fact picks up—

[Interruption]

The SPEAKER: Order! The behaviour of the Leader of the Opposition is grossly disorderly. I ask the Leader of the Opposition to resume his seat.
