MR SPEAKER: Order! Mrs Grassby, please do not talk over me. A point of order has been raised by Mr Berry. Mr Berry, what is your point of order, please?

Mr Berry: Thank you. I refer again to the point of order which was raised by Mr Moore. Standing order 118(a) states that it shall be concise and confined to the subject matter of the question.

Mr Kaine: Keep going, Craig. You're doing well.

Mr Berry: I also call the Speaker's attention to the issue of tedious repetition.

MR SPEAKER: Mr Duby, please be concise and to the point.

MR DUBY: I am only too willing to make this announcement and to tidy up the position in relation to recleans.

Mr Moore: On a point of order, Mr Speaker; the Chief Minister said to Mr Duby, "Keep going. You're doing well".

MR SPEAKER: Is that the point of order?

Mr Moore: Yes, I am getting to the point of order now. I believe that is disorderly, Mr Speaker, because you gave an instruction and he is suggesting the opposite to your instruction. I suggest that he be named.

MR SPEAKER: Thank you for your observation, Mr Moore. Please proceed, Mr Duby.

MR DUBY: In my 20 February statement, Mr Speaker, I also said that with the key decision made I could move quickly to examine other outstanding issues, particularly those of recleans.

Mr Berry: Mr Speaker, on a point of order; as a result of the point of order which I raised earlier I would like some sort of a ruling.

MR SPEAKER: I gave a ruling, thank you, Mr Berry. You must have been talking at the time. Please proceed, Mr Duby.

MR DUBY: Mr Speaker, I have now done this. In April I announced a temporary accommodation scheme, which all parties saw as an important issue needing quick resolution, and today - - -

Mrs Grassby: Mr Speaker, on a point of order; would he like me to read the question out again so maybe I could get an answer to the question that I asked? That is what I would like.

MR SPEAKER: Thank you, Mrs Grassby. Would you like the question re-read, Mr Duby?
