Mr Collaery: There was a date set - the 13th or the 14th - that Mr Moore knew.
MS FOLLETT: Mr Collaery says that there was a date set - the 13th or the 14th. I think that was an option on dates. In the event, no sitting took place on either of those dates. Mr Collaery has also asked me about the subject of a conversation between Mr Moore and Mr Berry. I have no information on any such conversation and he would have to address that question to either Mr Moore or Mr Berry or both.
Mr Moore: I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. Under standing order 46 I would like to make a personal explanation.
MR SPEAKER: Do you claim to have been misrepresented?
Mr Moore: I certainly do, Mr Speaker.
MR SPEAKER: Please proceed.
Mr Humphries: At the end of question time.
Mr Moore: I am quite happy to do it at the end of question time, Mr Speaker.
Board of Health Member
MR HUMPHRIES: My question is to the Chief Minister. Is it the Chief Minister's policy that when she and her Ministers come into contact with Liberal Party candidates for the forthcoming ACT election, in circumstances totally unrelated to party politics, they are treated in exactly the same way as every other citizen of this Territory?
MS FOLLETT: It is difficult for me to relate that question to any part of my portfolio.
Mr Humphries: It is the policy of your Government.
MS FOLLETT: My Government has no policy on such a matter. We generally attempt to treat people equally.
MR HUMPHRIES: I ask a supplementary question, Mr Speaker. What does Ms Follett say about the incident where Mr Berry refused to be introduced to a meeting of people concerned with the Triple T anti-drug program by a member of the Board of Health, Kate Carnell, also a Liberal candidate for the forthcoming election? Does she consider that the pressure placed on Ms Carnell not to attend that function breaches the spirit in which members of her Government ought to approach dealings with other citizens of this Territory, albeit members of the Liberal Party and endorsed candidates for the forthcoming election?
