PERSONAL EXPLANATION

MR STEFANIAK: I rise in relation to standing order 46. I claim to have been misrepresented.

MR SPEAKER: Please proceed.

MR STEFANIAK: During the course of this debate - specifically some comments that Mr Connolly made and also one point that Mr Moore made - a number of points were raised. One was to do with a declaration of victims' rights; the other was to do with the question of a curfew.

Firstly, in relation to the curfew, because both members mentioned that, I do not know whether these people really listen to the radio and actually hear what is said. All I said in relation to a curfew in Port Augusta was that I was interested in it, and that I would be looking at that and bringing that to the attention of the Attorney-General so that he could see what happened there, too.

In relation to supporting anything, the only thing that I stated was that I support any measures that help reduce youth crime. At no stage have I expressed support for a curfew. I do not know how it would operate. I do not know whether it would be worth supporting or not. Like a number of other people, I can see some potential difficulties with it in the ACT. I want to put that matter well and truly to rest.

Ms Follett: Mr Kaine does not agree. That is the biggest difficulty that you have.

MR STEFANIAK: The Government is not even looking at it at this stage, and there is no reason why it should. I do not even know whether it is going to operate in South
