MR SPEAKER: Order!
MR COLLAERY: Ms Follett speaks of two letters. She has failed to read to the house a third letter, which to my knowledge was forwarded to her this week.
Mr Berry: But you have not sent it to her yet.
MR COLLAERY: I am not saying she has got it; perhaps she has not. I will table - - -
Mrs Grassby: Oh, he has whipped up to write one. The cheque is in the mail.
MR SPEAKER: Order! Order, Mrs Grassby!
MR COLLAERY: Mr Speaker, I am claiming to have been misrepresented. Firstly, the Leader of the Opposition has said I used the word "deception", and we will wait for the Hansard to see whether I did. Be that as it may, I say that the Leader of the Opposition has read an incomplete record of the matters before her committee. I will be raising this matter after lunch and I will be tabling a further letter she has failed, after the files were perused, to present to the Assembly.
Ms Follett: Mr Speaker, I would seek for both of these letters to be incorporated into the Hansard. I can confirm that I have received no further correspondence from Mr Collaery. And I do still seek that he withdraw the word "deception".
Leave granted.
Documents incorporated at appendix 1
Sitting suspended from 12.46 to 2.30 pm
QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE
School Closures - Video
MS FOLLETT: My question is addressed to the Minister for Health, Education and the Arts. Can he confirm that he has spent some $20,000 on the production of a video by Film Australia which is designed to justify school closures?
MR HUMPHRIES: Mr Speaker, I am not aware of any such video. I certainly have not authorised any such video and, if such a video exists, I will advise members accordingly.
