MS FOLLETT: Nevertheless, the fact remains that there is nothing in this Bill that refers to Fyshwick, Hume and Mitchell.

MR DUBY: Mr Speaker, I have an amendment in my hand which is unsigned. I believe I just heard the Leader of the Opposition support it.
MR SPEAKER: No, Mr Duby. That amendment has not been moved yet by Mr Moore.
MR DUBY: Well, we understood it was being moved by the Leader of the Opposition.
Mr Kaine: On a point of order, Mr Speaker; I would think that Mr Duby is entitled to misunderstand because there is an amendment on the table which is unsigned and which talks
