MR JENSEN (12.14): Mr Speaker, I wish to make a couple of brief comments in relation to the cheap shots taken by the members opposite in relation to the planning legislation. Might I suggest that what we got from this shadow planning Minister opposite - - -

Mr Connolly: On a point of order: we debated this yesterday. He has announced what he is going to talk about, and it is yesterday's debate.

MR SPEAKER: Order! Mr Jensen, I assume that you are going to be relevant in your statement.

MR JENSEN: Of course, Mr Speaker, I am going to be relevant because I am talking about the arguments of Ms Follett in relation to the planning legislation. I think it is quite relevant.

Mr Connolly: On a point of order: he is indicating what he will be talking about - the planning legislation relevant to the debate yesterday.

MR SPEAKER: Thank you, Mr Connolly. I asked that he stick to the debate and be relevant, so I assume that he will do so.

MR JENSEN: Ms Follett made a cheap shot during her comments, Mr Speaker, and I am just taking the advantage of replying to that cheap shot. They put on the table a half-baked set of drafting instructions in relation to planning legislation, whereas we have put draft legislation on the table.

Mrs Grassby: On a point of order, Mr Speaker: It is not relevant to the point that we made.

MR SPEAKER: Order, Mr Jensen! I must admit that if he is following a comment that was made in a previous debate - - -

Ms Follett: He is not. He lied to you.

Mr Jensen: On a point of order, Mr Speaker: I ask that that be withdrawn.

MR SPEAKER: Please withdraw.

Ms Follett: I withdraw that, Mr Speaker. I was having you on.

Proposed expenditure agreed to.
