Estimates Committee, has the answer that he seeks. It is in a legal opinion provided by the deputy law officer, dated 26 October 1990. It makes very clear that the ACT Executive can make provision within the legislation for Ministers to carry out their duties at official expense, and it makes clear that Mr Moore,s imputations and assertions are legally incorrect, like all of his assertions on this topic.
He is once again pursuing a line which, we once heard in this house, he said he would never follow. That was when he was recanting over the fish farm allegations which he, not any other member of the Rally, made in this Assembly. I think it has become evident today who really is the person who likes to muckrake.
MR MOORE: Mr Speaker, I wish to make a further personal explanation.
MR SPEAKER: Please proceed.
MR MOORE: Mr Duby said to me before, "Shut up, fungus face". I want to point out that the beard that I wear, which I presume he is not quite capable of doing - I think I might get some bipartisan agreement from Mr Humphries - is not fungus, although perhaps it occasionally contains it.
