MR STEVENSON: I think Mr Connolly mentioned something about obscure people. The truth of the matter is that I also listed 11 Nobel Prize winners. You may say, "Well, it is nice that people who are interested in peace talk about this". No, their research was in chemistry and medicine. I repeat - 11 Nobel Prize winners. I seek an extension of time.

MADAM SPEAKER: Is leave granted? Yes, continue, Mr Stevenson.

MR STEVENSON: Thank you very much.

Mr Berry: No way. Who did that? I said no.

Mrs Carnell: Nobody voted.

MR STEVENSON: I clearly heard a number of people say yes. I would ask that on this occasion you grant me a little bit more time on this matter.

Mr Berry: No way.

MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Stevenson, I am sorry. You can now move that you be granted an extension of time. I believe that we both misheard.

MR STEVENSON: I move:

That Mr Stevenson be granted an extension of time.

I say that I do not want to speak for 10 minutes on every clause in this Bill.

Question put:

That Mr Stevenson be granted an extension of time.

The Assembly voted -

AYES, 8  NOES, 9 

Mrs Carnell Mr Berry
Mr Cornwell Mr Connolly
Mr De Domenico Ms Ellis
Mr Humphries Ms Follett
Mr Kaine Mrs Grassby
Mr Moore Mr Lamont
Mr Stevenson Ms McRae
Mr Westende Ms Szuty
 Mr Wood

Question so resolved in the negative.

MR MOORE (12.14): We are dealing with fluoride, and I think the situation can be best summarised in the following way:

You put the fluoride in,
You put the fluoride out,
You put the fluoride in and you shake it all about,
You do the hokey-pokey,
You turn us right around,
And that's what the Liberal Party is all about.
