Mr Jensen: They should be seeking to protect him. They cannot.
MR SPEAKER: Order! Order, Mr Jensen, please! I cannot even hear your own member. I did not get the thrust of the point of order, Mr Humphries.
Mr Humphries: It is not relevant, Mr Speaker. Mr Collaery's statements have no relevance to this matter.
MR SPEAKER: Thank you. Ms Follett, I would ask that your remarks be addressed to the person involved in the motion.
MS FOLLETT: They are indeed. They are addressed to the matter of censure of members of this chamber.
Mr Collaery: Mr Speaker, I have a further point of order. Ms Follett referred to travel conducted by members, referring, of course, to me.
MS FOLLETT: Ministers.
Mr Collaery: She said, "It was even Ministers. It was even a little bit dodgy". I ask, Mr Speaker, that she be directed to withdraw that imputation. It is a clear imputation that Ministers' travel has been dodgy.
MR SPEAKER: Yes, I would ask you to withdraw that, please, Ms Follett.
Mr Moore: It is not in accordance with the law. The Chief Minister has admitted it. On a point of order, Mr Speaker: the Chief Minister has admitted that much.
MS FOLLETT: Mr Speaker, I said that it was not exactly legal and I will not withdraw that if it is not. I will withdraw "dodgy" if it upsets the Dodgy Brothers opposite. Mr Speaker, if I may continue - - -
Mr Collaery: That is a qualified withdrawal.
MR SPEAKER: Mr Collaery, it has been withdrawn, I believe.
Mr Collaery: Mr Speaker, it has not been withdrawn; it has been repeated for the record. I ask that Ms Follett withdraw; that she make an unqualified withdrawal.
MR SPEAKER: Please withdraw "dodgy", Ms Follett.
MS FOLLETT: I have withdrawn the word "dodgy" on which they are so sensitive.
MR SPEAKER: Thank you.
Mr Collaery: That is a qualification, Mr Speaker. I ask that she withdraw the word "dodgy". That is all she has to do.
