The Hon. John Della Bosca: Iguanas Waterfront Restaurant Incident

Mr BARRY O'FARRELL: My question is directed to the Premier. If, as the Premier now claims, John Della Bosca failed to tell him about the additional statutory declarations, meaning that he has misled the Premier a second time about the Iguanas cover-up, when will the Premier stop dithering and simply sack him?

Mr MORRIS IEMMA: I refer the Leader of the Opposition to my answer to the question yesterday.

The SPEAKER: Order! Members will cease interjecting.

Mr MORRIS IEMMA: The Leader of the Opposition talks about standards. What sort of standards has he imposed on his team? Sitting two members away from the Leader of the Opposition, on the front bench, is someone who assaulted another member of Parliament.

Mr Brad Hazzard: Point of order: I refer to Standing Order 129, in relation to relevance. The Premier has to answer the question about his team that he is imposing standards on. Also, if he wishes to make a substantive attack he should do so by way of motion, or we could point out the failings in standards of his team.

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Wakehurst will resume his seat. The House will come to order. I call the member for Coffs Harbour to order.

Mr MORRIS IEMMA: It is good to see that the member for Coffs Harbour is interjecting on a matter of standards. The Leader of the Opposition wants it both ways. He has chosen the path to the Independent Commission Against Corruption. The matter is under investigation by police and the police will do their job. The Minister has been stood aside, Mr O'Farrell.

The SPEAKER: Order! Members will cease interjecting.

Mr MORRIS IEMMA: The Leader of the Opposition speaks about standards. A couple of others in the Opposition who ask questions in Parliament are sanctimonious hypocrites, like him.
