environmental policies of those opposite are reflected in this decision. The contempt that has been shown to the electorate will be returned in kind. The Residents Rally will get what they deserve and disappear. The No Self Government Party has already disappeared and a bit of mopping up just needs to be done around the edges. I am sure that will be sorted out - a bit of a mopping up arrangement, which Mr Kaine would understand.
Mr Kaine: I will mop you up.
MR BERRY: This man threatens me with violence every time I come here. Last night he threatened to take me outside. It is on the record. Now he is talking about violence again.
Mr Kaine: I am not. I am talking about the next election, mate. We will mop you up.
MR BERRY: This Chief Minister needs to be called to order, Mr Speaker. Violence is not appropriate in this place.
Mr Kaine: I am not talking about violence. I am talking about the next election.
MR BERRY: Well, last night you were talking about taking me outside. It is just another repeat of that violence.
Mr Kaine: That is all right. If you feel like it, I will. I do not care.
MR SPEAKER: Order! Chief Minister, please!
MR BERRY: The political losers opposite have failed to see that 4,000 people cannot be wrong. Dr Kinloch cannot be wrong - that is, if we pay any regard to his fixation for propriety, which so often comes into question by his action, as it has done on this matter. The Government members have screwed his arm up his back to keep him out of this place today, because - - -
Mr Kaine: I have not spoken to him, Mr Berry.
MR BERRY: With a Chief Minister who has such a fixation on violence, I am sure that would not be beyond the Government. Mr Kaine cannot be wrong if he is as committed to environmental issues as he says he is. If this is an indication of what we can expect in the future in relation to environmental issues, Mr Kaine not only holds the electorate in contempt but he also holds their offspring in contempt.
Mr Jensen: On a point of order, Mr Speaker; I claim to have been misrepresented. In the speech that Mr Berry has just made, he indicated that members of the Government had twisted Dr Kinloch's arm to prevent him from coming down to the Assembly. I claim that I have been misrepresented. I have not done anything and I am not aware of anything being done by any other member of the Alliance Government.
