Mr Collaery: I claim that Mr Berry made a completely insulting reference to me. He said that I had made a defamatory statement about someone. I ask that he be directed to withdraw it.
MR TEMPORARY DEPUTY SPEAKER: Are you claiming to have been misrepresented, Mr Collaery?
Mr Collaery: Yes. I ask that he be directed to withdraw those comments.
MR TEMPORARY DEPUTY SPEAKER: Mr Berry, I believe it is appropriate for you to withdraw those remarks.
Mr Berry: I withdraw them.

MR TEMPORARY DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order, Mr Collaery! Order, Mr Berry!
Mr Berry: Well, he is having a bit of a shot, too.
MR TEMPORARY DEPUTY SPEAKER: Both of you settle down and let Mr Duby get on with his speech.
Ms Follett: On a point of order, Mr Temporary Deputy Speaker; Mr Duby just referred to a member as a somnambulist. I require that he withdraw that.
MR TEMPORARY DEPUTY SPEAKER: I did not hear that remark.
Mrs Grassby: I did.
MR TEMPORARY DEPUTY SPEAKER: Mrs Grassby, please! Mr Duby, the Leader of the Opposition has indicated that you have used an insulting term, I believe.
MR DUBY: Mr Speaker, I must admit that I referred to Mr Berry as a somnambulist.
Ms Follett: On a point of order, Mr Temporary Deputy Speaker; Mr Collaery was required to withdraw his remark about somebody being asleep. Mr Duby, quite blatantly disregarding your previous ruling, has made the same assertion.
MR TEMPORARY DEPUTY SPEAKER: I was just getting to that, Ms Follett. Mr Duby, will you withdraw that remark, please?
