MR SPEAKER: Thank you. Order!
MR MOORE: Are you getting touchy, Collaery? I withdraw anything they find offensive, Mr Speaker. I do not know why we raise these things if they are going to get offended at them.

MR SPEAKER: Order!
MR MOORE: Mr Speaker, this man is interjecting again. Can you control the Chief Minister, or name him?

MR MOORE: Mr Speaker, Mr Collaery's response at that time prompted me to interject, "Methinks thou protesteth too much". The further action from Mr Collaery in bringing this motion indicates quite clearly that he has some concerns about his own conduct. It indicates that he has in some way acted inappropriately.
