Mr Duby: There was a pilots strike.

MR COLLAERY: When there was not a pilots strike it could not go. But it found time to go to Melbourne to give a couple of radio interviews and to meet Carmen Lawrence, and it found time to go to the football in Sydney. I can assure you that it is not the standard of this ministry.

Debate interrupted.

ADJOURNMENT

MR SPEAKER: Order! It being 9.30 pm, I propose the question:

That the Assembly do now adjourn.

Mr Collaery: I require the question to be put forthwith without debate.

Question resolved in the negative.

ESTIMATES - SELECT COMMITTEE

Report on the Appropriation Bill 1990-91

Debate resumed.

MS FOLLETT (Leader of the Opposition): Mr Speaker, I seek leave to make a short personal explanation.

MR SPEAKER: I have already asked Mr Moore whether he will wait until the end of the debate, Ms Follett.

Mr Moore: But since that time, Mr Speaker, I have not seen anything in the standing orders that indicates that we should wait until the end of the debate. We should wait until the end of the time of the person speaking. Perhaps you could draw my attention to it, but I am not aware of it.

MR SPEAKER: It certainly is not in the standing orders, Mr Moore. It is just the convention that we have adopted, and it allows the debate to continue.

Mr Moore: There is clearly a good break now, Mr Speaker. It would be an ideal time to allow personal explanations by me and Ms Follett.

MR SPEAKER: Thank you for your observation, Mr Moore. I am not sure who else is speaking on the issue.

Mr Moore: Under standing order 46, Mr Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.
