person's career. For that reason, Mr Speaker, I decided not to have that document in my possession in such a way that I could present it.

MR JENSEN (4.24): Let me comment briefly on the matters that Mr Moore raised yesterday in question time. Quite clearly, Mr Speaker, from the way that the question was framed and the way it was asked, there was a clear implication - there is no doubt about it - that executive members of this Government were involved in some way in some sort of clandestine arrangements. Quite frankly, Mr Speaker, if Mr Moore was prepared to make that sort of an allegation in question time, he should have been prepared and have been in a position to back it up that afternoon. Those sorts of allegations, I would suggest, as has already been indicated, should and must be followed through at the moment they are made. They are very grave allegations and anyone who is prepared to make them should be able to put up, as Mr Collaery did on the day that those other allegations were made.

I suggest, Mr Speaker, that because of the way in which Mr Moore handled this matter it is a grave reflection on his standing within the community and the house. I am sure that the members of this house will vote to censure Mr Moore accordingly.

Question put:

That the motion (Mr Kaine's) be agreed to.

Mr Collaery Mr Moore
Mr Duby
Mr Humphries

Question so resolved in the affirmative.
