ESTIMATES COMMITTEE
Membership
MR SPEAKER: I have been notified in writing of the nominations of Mr Berry, Mr Connolly, Ms Follett, Ms Maher, Mr Moore, Mrs Nolan and Mr Stevenson to be members of the Estimates Committee. As I have received more nominations than there are places, a ballot to determine the committee members will be taken.
Mr Kaine: What about Mr Jensen?
Mr Jensen: The letter was delivered to your office by my secretary.
MR SPEAKER: Order! I will take advice on this matter. Mr Jensen has advised that there seems to be a loss of a document. Is it the wish of the Assembly to allow Mr Jensen to nominate?
Ms Follett: No way.
Mr Moore: Are we going to work by rules or not?
Mr Berry: You either have rules or you do not.
Mr Duby: We are not going to be ridiculously technical, are we, Michael?
Mr Moore: Let him nominate.
Mr Kaine: Mr Jensen did nominate. You cannot exclude him.
Mr Connolly: What does Mr Jensen say he did?
Mr Jensen: I did not deliver it personally.
MR SPEAKER: Please present your case, Mr Jensen.
MR JENSEN (4.11): Thank you, Mr Speaker. Mr Speaker, the case is that this morning I wrote a letter in my office and I handed it to my personal assistant and asked her to deliver it to your office.
MR SPEAKER: To my office or to the Secretariat?
Mr Collaery: Mr Speaker, I ask that you defer this matter and make inquiries.
MR SPEAKER: Yes.
Mr Moore: Mr Speaker, in the interests of expediting this matter, Labor and I agree, and I am sure Mr Stevenson would agree, that if Mr Jensen puts his nomination in now we will accept that as being the sensible thing.
MR SPEAKER: We could put this further down the day's proceedings.
