On another matter, Madam Speaker, my colleague Mr Connolly rose to point out how well Labor had been doing in producing legislation in this chamber in the last few sitting days. He pointed out that there is a stark contrast between what the Labor Party is doing in terms of business in the Assembly and what the Liberals attempted to do. We have had a number of days when the Liberals have not got out of bed early enough to submit an MPI for consideration in this Assembly. Looking at the stern faces on the other side of the chamber, one would think that they are troubled by something; but it is obvious that they are not being troubled by any matter of any public importance.

Mr Cornwell: It is not our job to extend the time of your Government in this chamber, Mr Berry.

MR BERRY: Mr Cornwell says that it is not his business to soak up the time in the chamber. It is the responsibility of the Liberal members opposite to raise matters of public importance. They obviously have nothing that troubles them. As my colleague Mr Connolly rightly says, they are not troubled by lack of sleep, nor by matters of public importance.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Assembly adjourned at 3.52 pm until Tuesday, 16 June 1992, at 2.30 pm
