fine; go about it in this standard procedure. It is not difficult. It is the same standard procedure - almost the same words actually - that has come out of the Conservation, Heritage and Environment Committee and a motion that was passed there.
What we need to do, as Mr Collaery said a short while ago, is move to more important business. We have not had a single statement from the Government this morning about this that could in any way elucidate their decision, because there is not any basis for it and they think there is business more important. Well, I can tell you, Mr "Supposedly Community Based Party", you do not have any community base because nobody supports it from the community and there are only about 30 or 40 members. Let us put that on the record. If you are lucky, 200. What a laugh!
Let me say this to you: the community supports consultation, and that is what you should be looking at. That is what this is about and that is what we should be doing. This is important business because it is about the very basis on which you promised to go to the people. This is just another one of the things that you sold out when you let go the basic principles on which you had been elected. That is something that you ought to consider and it is something that Dr Kinloch ought also to consider.
Mr Kaine: On a point of order, Mr Speaker; I refer to standing order 58 - relevance.
MR SPEAKER: I uphold your objection, Chief Minister. Please stick to the debate, Mr Moore.
MR MOORE: Mr Speaker, the point is that it gives me great joy to move the motion circulated in my name on the notice paper, because I think it is appropriate for the Government to realise that they have made a mistake and they should correct it. I think it is a great shame that Dr Kinloch is not here to vote on it.
