John Pesutto explains decision to walk out of question time in state parliament today

Yesterday, state opposition leader John Pesutto teed off at disgraced MP Darren Cheeseman for chewing up question time, and today has led the Coalition out of state parliament.

Pesutto joined 3AW Drive, explaining how he’d asked 24 questions relating to the CFMEU, in which Premier Jacinta Allan didn’t answer a single question.

“We had to send a message that question time needs to be a meaningful exchange,” he told Jacqui Felgate.

The opposition leader also weighed in on the anti-Semitic incident at Elsternwick Officeworks to come to light earlier on 3AW Mornings.

“Pretty despicable conduct,” he said.
