MR SPEAKER: Under the circumstances, I believe that Mr Berry brought the interjections on himself.

Mr Kaine: He has had plenty of time to say his piece.

MR SPEAKER: Order, Chief Minister! The point is that Ms Follett has every right to move that an extension be granted.

Question put:

That Mr Berry be granted an extension of time.

A call of the Assembly having commenced -

Mr Connolly: On a point of order, Mr Speaker: I should draw your attention to the fact that Mrs Grassby was feeling ill and has left and gone home.

MR SPEAKER: Thank you.

The Assembly voted -

AYES, 5  NOES, 10

Mr Berry Mr Collaery
Mr Connolly Mr Duby
Ms Follett Mr Humphries
Mr Moore Mr Jensen
Mr Wood Mr Kaine
 Dr Kinloch
 Ms Maher
 Mrs Nolan
 Mr Prowse
 Mr Stefaniak

Question so resolved in the negative. 

MR KAINE (Chief Minister) (6.07): Mr Speaker, I am at a total loss to understand why Mr Berry would put forward this amendment. The fact is that we do not need a select committee. Apart from the fact that it is contrary to standing orders and he would seek to suspend standing orders to create it, we in fact do not need it. The motion that has been properly put forward by the Deputy Chief Minister would establish a joint committee - - -

Mr Berry: On a point of order, Mr Speaker: He said that it was contrary to standing orders. That is not true; you have already ruled that way.

Mr Moore: I think the Chief Minister is trying to mislead us. The Speaker has ruled that it is not contrary to standing orders.

MR KAINE: It is opposed to standing orders. That is the simple fact.
