Adjournment

MR SPEAKER: Order! It being slightly after 9.30 pm, I propose the question:

That the Assembly do now adjourn.

Mr Collaery: I require the question to be put forthwith without debate.

Question resolved in the negative.

MR CONNOLLY: Mr Speaker, I claim to have been misrepresented. During the preceding debate Mr Duby told the house that I had assured him earlier this evening that the Labor Opposition would support this Bill. My recollection of that incident - and I did relay it to my party leader shortly afterwards and that is why Ms Follett objected most strenuously to Mr Duby's remarks - was that on leaving the Assembly I entered a lift in which Mr Duby was present. Mr Duby said, "How will you be voting on the Bills?". To my mind that meant the package of three Bills coming up this evening. My recollection was that I said to him, "I am not sure, Craig, but I think you will find we will not be opposing them" or "I think you will find we will not be against them".
