Mr Collaery: Mr Speaker, I would never ask that of the Leader of the Opposition. I withdraw it.
MR SPEAKER: Order, Mr Collaery! That is a qualified withdrawal.
Mr Collaery: Mr Speaker, to accord with the courtesy of the Chair, I withdraw that, unreservedly.
MR SPEAKER: Thank you. Mr Jensen, your words were, at one stage, "No fibs", and at another stage, "Tell the truth. Tell the truth, Rosemary".
Mr Jensen: Okay, Mr Speaker, I withdraw - like my colleague Mr Collaery - but can I make a short statement in doing so, please?
MR SPEAKER: Do you seek leave?
Mr Jensen: Unreservedly and unexpectedly.
Leave not granted.
MR SPEAKER: Mr Jensen, leave is not granted, but if you wish to make a statement under standing order 46 you may do so.
Mr Jensen: No, Mr Speaker. I think we all know what happens from across the other side. We will let other people judge.
PAPERS
MRS GRASSBY: Mr Speaker, I ask for leave to present two petitions which do not conform with the standing orders as one petition has not been tabled in accordance with the routine of business and the other does not contain a request.
Leave granted.
MRS GRASSBY: I present one out-of-order petition from 803 residents requesting that the threatened demolition of the Casuarina Sands weir be halted and that it be recognised as a recreational swimming facility; and another out-of-order petition from 242 residents relating to a weir at Casuarina Sands. Also, I understand that a petition from the fishing community with 1,000 signatures was sent to the Speaker's office but seems to have got lost somewhere on the way and cannot be found.
Mr Kaine: I do not think one can present a petition that got lost, Mr Speaker, no matter how many signatures it has on it.
