Apart from Mr Wood's noise, the other issue - one of satisfaction to me as leader of government business - is that this has been one of the most historic debates of the Assembly; no-one can detract from that. Ms Follett started the day by saying that it was not a matter worthy of debate. This side unprecedentedly congratulated Mr Moore for bringing on the issue and, also unprecedentedly, this house moved unanimously on important issues affecting the Territory.

It has been an historic day in the chamber. It is an important day. I am sure that the comments made by Mr Wood were made more in jest than seriously. If he thinks that the Door-to-Door Trading Bill should have taken precedence over the right of self-determination for this Territory, then I would be sadly mistaken in my assessment of him. Let the record show that Mr Wood now leaves, hanging his head in shame.

Mr Wood: On a point of order, Mr Speaker: I would like to dispute that comical remark.

MR SPEAKER: Thank you, Mr Wood.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Assembly adjourned at 11.15 pm
