record - that my interest in this matter has been raised today only because there is an election pending.
Mr Jensen: I never said that.
MR WHALAN: Look Norm, have a look.
MR SPEAKER: Order. Order. Mr Whalan, at a previous - - -
MR WHALAN: Oh, sorry. Mr Jensen. I understand; I know what you are going to say.
MR SPEAKER: At a previous time we made an order not to refer to members by Christian names.
MR WHALAN: What about nicknames?
MR SPEAKER: Would you please abide by that ruling.
MR WHALAN: Can we call them by nicknames?
MR SPEAKER: No, you know the ruling. Please proceed.
MR WHALAN: The notice was given on 5 December, two and a half months ago, and for you to make this crass allegation that it has been raised today because there is some Federal election in the wind is absolute nonsense. For you to make such a callous, heartless attack on Ros Kelly who has done so much for Tuggeranong is absolutely disgraceful, and it demonstrates your chauvinist approach to politics.
Finally, Norman Jensen said in support of the Erindale location for any facilities in Tuggeranong that school buses go to Erindale. That shows how blinkered and narrow is his outlook because there are children who go to pools at weekends and after school hours. You might be interested to know that, Mr Speaker. Also, there are training sessions, competition and recreational use of the pool outside school hours and there are no buses that go directly from Isabella Plains to Erindale in that situation.
Mr Duby: They do not go to the town centre either.
Mrs Nolan: They do not go to the town centre either, Paul; in fact, there is nowhere to have it in Tuggeranong.
MR WHALAN: Mr Duby has promised me he is going to do something about that.
Question put:
That the amendment (Mr Collaery's) be agreed to.
