MR SPEAKER: Yes, thank you, Mr Jensen. You have spoken to the motion, Mr Moore. You are speaking to the amendment.
MR MOORE: No, I am speaking to the amendment, Mr Speaker, I said that the - - -
Mr Kaine: The amendment has got nothing to do with Mr Collaery.
Mr Jensen: It does not even mention Mr Collaery, Mr Moore.
Ms Follett: That is why it is irrelevant.
MR MOORE: That is why it is irrelevant. That is the whole point I am trying to make and - - -
Mr Kaine: You are being irrelevant. You are also being tedious and repetitious.
MR SPEAKER: Order!
MR MOORE: Mr Speaker, I believe the Chief Minister has raised a point of order.
Mr Kaine: Yes, I said you are being tedious.
MR SPEAKER: Order! Please proceed, Mr Moore.
MR MOORE: Are you going to control that man?
MR SPEAKER: Order, Mr Moore, for goodness' sake. You of all people - please proceed.
MR MOORE: For this cornered group to group as they are, what they have to do now is to make sure that at no stage they break their grouping. They have to hold together because if the thinnest little wedge appears on an outwardly basis - they have got so many divisions within them - that if there is an outward sign of it, the whole thing might crumble, so there is never any possibility for them to express their own opinion or to do any of those things. None of these things refer to me at all. I am not threatened by them. I do not feel worried by them at all because they do not refer to me in the slightest. What I have seen is a situation about Mr Collaery that is intolerable, and that is the particular situation that I wish to draw attention to and that is relevant. You must ensure that we retain the relevance, Mr Speaker, so that you retain the confidence of the opposition and so that you retain the confidence of the house.
MR SPEAKER: Mr Duby, would you just remain seated for a moment. I am trying to decide on some of the debate.
Mr Duby: Certainly.
