Mr Berry: It is in the record.
MR SPEAKER: It may well have been, but I did not hear you say that before I had taken that decision. Unfortunately, that was the timing of the action. If it did in fact occur, I can only apologise for not hearing it; but the point is that I understood that you called after I had actually declared the motion passed.
Mr Berry: Well, the record shows differently. Will you put the question again, sir?
MR SPEAKER: I do not believe that that is appropriate at this time.
PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS
DR KINLOCH: I wish to make a personal explanation.
MR SPEAKER: Do you claim to have been misrepresented?
DR KINLOCH: I claim to have been misrepresented in two ways, and I do not think these were deliberate. I just want to say that I have been misrepresented. In no way has the Residents Rally sabotaged the process that began under Ms Follett's Government and concluded yesterday. We were not part of that process. I was certainly not involved with that process. There were two committees set up. I do not know what those committees did, because I was not a member. I can only say that we sat patiently for many months, since July 1989 - - -
Ms Follett: On a point of order, Mr Speaker: In what way does Dr Kinloch claim to have been misrepresented?
MR SPEAKER: I believe that Dr Kinloch is getting to the point.
DR KINLOCH: The word "sabotaged" was used. I have not sabotaged anything. Ms Follett used the word "sabotaged", and I believe that it was repeated by Mr Wood. I am not responsible for any sabotage.
Mr Berry: Come on, of course you were.
DR KINLOCH: I am sorry, Mr Berry; I am not responsible for sabotaging anything. I need to make this point in order to answer the second misrepresentation. The first misrepresentation is to imagine that the members of the Residents Rally were involved in any way with affecting, or meeting with, or having any connection with those two committees. There was a process that was started, and that process concluded yesterday. We had nothing to do with it.
