MR DUBY: Mr Speaker, I must insist that this has gone far enough. These points of order that the people on the other side of the Assembly are making all the time are clearly a preordained move that they have worked out in Labor's party room. There is no doubt whatsoever that Mr Moore is in the Labor Party's pocket and Mr Moore has been working very, very closely with them for a long time, Mr Speaker, because he wants to get into - - -

Mr Moore: On a point of order, Mr Speaker; these are very clearly imputations of improper motives.

MR DUBY: Mr Speaker, it has nothing to do with motives. It is an imputation - - -

Mr Moore: That is not the case, and I ask him to withdraw those imputations.

MR SPEAKER: Order! Mr Moore, I do not believe that your being aligned with any party is improper.

Motion (by Mr Moore) put:

That the question be now put.

Question resolved in the negative.

MR DUBY: Mr Speaker - - -

Mr Moore: On a point of order, Mr Speaker; I believe that Mr Duby has already spoken in the adjournment debate.

Mr Jensen: He can speak twice.

Mr Moore: Well, under what standing order can you speak twice? I do not believe that is the case.

Mr Jensen: In the adjournment debate a member can speak more than once.

MR DUBY: I do not know what the point of order is and, seeing that Mr Moore cannot name the point of order, I intend to continue with my closing - - -

Mr Moore: It is Mr Jensen's point of order, not mine.

MR SPEAKER: Order! Under the circumstances, Mr Duby, I believe that your time has expired and you do not have the right to speak a second time in the adjournment debate.

MR DUBY: Well, may I say, Mr Speaker, that in five minutes of speech, I had probably 20 seconds of talk.

Ms Maher: Can we give him an extension of time?

Leave not granted.
