MR STEVENSON (9.27): Bob Hawke, before the 1989 ACT election - - -

MR SPEAKER: Order! The amendment was moved and I believe that you spoke to the original motion.

MR STEVENSON: No, I did not. I spoke on the amendment. I stood up for it. You can speak on an amendment and on the motion.

MR SPEAKER: You spoke after the amendment was moved. Therefore you have had your turn. You may seek leave to speak.

Mr Stevenson: I take a point of order, Mr Speaker. I was waiting to speak on the main motion. Someone moved an amendment and I decided not to wait. I wanted to speak on the amendment.

MR SPEAKER: Mr Stevenson, if you speak after the amendment is moved, you are speaking to both issues. On my interpretation of the standing orders, you have spoken to the main motion.

MR STEVENSON: Right, Mr Speaker; thank you very much. I seek leave to make a statement.
