MINISTERIAL ARRANGEMENTS

MR KAINE (Chief Minister) (10.57): Mr Speaker, I ask leave of the Assembly to announce ministerial arrangements.

MR SPEAKER: Is leave granted?

Mr Whalan: On a point of order, Mr Speaker; the standing orders require you to recognise the person first on his or her feet. Ms Follett was on her feet before Mr Kaine. I ask you to observe the appropriate standing orders in relation to that.

MR SPEAKER: I was reading at the time, Mr Whalan. I saw both members stand, and I deferred to the Chief Minister.

Mr Berry: Well, I think fairness is what you should defer to, Mr Speaker.

MR SPEAKER: Yes, that is exactly what happened. Thank you, Mr Berry. The point is that I deferred to the Chief Minister on this occasion. I call the Chief Minister.

MR KAINE: In view of the exchange over the last few minutes, Mr Speaker, I might again ask leave of the Assembly to announce ministerial arrangements.

Leave granted.

MR KAINE: Mr Speaker, on Tuesday I announced that the three members to join me in the Executive were Mr Collaery, Mr Duby and Mr Humphries, and I said that I would provide details today of the allocation of the executive responsibility and of the involvement of other members in a cooperative government.
