Mrs Grassby: He has misled the house.
MR SPEAKER: Order. Do you have a point of order, Mr Berry?
Mr Berry: I really do not have a chance to say anything, but I think Mr Humphries invited interjections on this matter.
MR HUMPHRIES: You are trying to cover up the fact that you have been caught out.
Mr Berry: What he is trying to draw attention to is that - - -
MR SPEAKER: No, please, Mr Berry, you do not have leave to debate the issue.
Mrs Grassby: He has misled the house; that is a point of order.
Mr Berry: I think what you said, Mr Speaker, was that if he misleads the house he will be taken to task.
MR SPEAKER: Certainly. Well, there is a time - you have to move a motion to that.
MR HUMPHRIES: He has not misled the house.
Mr Berry: I am just trying to draw that to your attention.
MR SPEAKER: No, no, you have to move a motion to that effect - a substantive motion.
Mr Berry: We would have some difficulty in getting that through here, would we not?
Mrs Grassby: Yes, we would not get it through.
MR SPEAKER: Thank you once again. The point is you have the opportunity to move that motion.
MR HUMPHRIES: Mr Speaker, I have four seconds left of a speech that should have taken 10 minutes to make.
Mr Berry: Three, two, it has gone.
Motion (by Mr Humphries) agreed to:
That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent him from concluding his speech.
MR HUMPHRIES: Mr Speaker, the fact is that there is no reason whatever to refer to this Act. This is the first time tonight that the Pesticides Act has been referred to.
Mrs Grassby: We are going over and over again.
