MADAM TEMPORARY DEPUTY SPEAKER: He withdrew it.
Mr Collaery: He needs to withdraw both. Let us have both on the record.
MADAM TEMPORARY DEPUTY SPEAKER: Mr Collaery, he withdrew it.

MADAM TEMPORARY DEPUTY SPEAKER: He said, "I withdraw it".
MR BERRY: I withdrew the imputation that you are shifty. I do not intend to go on any longer about this. The mismanagement by Mr Collaery, in his ministerial capacity in the Alliance Government, of the $1m that was owed to the government is a matter of record. There is nothing more to say.
Proposed expenditure agreed to.
