So, with indulgence, we have been well entertained for the last 10 minutes; but that will not occur again. Mr Westende, you have a right of reply because you were the mover of the substantive motion. You may exercise that right if you so choose.

MR WESTENDE (5.08), in reply: Madam Speaker, I shall make my reply very short. While we sympathise with Mr Moore's amendment, we are realistic enough to realise that some increase is necessary; hence the wording of my motion. We give the Government some latitude by using the words "increases to a level reflecting CPI movements". With those few words I rest my case, Madam Speaker.

Amendment negatived.

MR LAMONT (8.00): I present report No. 2 of 1992 - - -

Mr Moore: I raise a point of order, Madam Speaker. I draw your attention to the state of dress of this member of parliament. It seems to me that Speaker Prowse in the previous Assembly certainly would not have tolerated this style of dress. I draw your attention to it in order that you might not miss it.

MR LAMONT: Madam Speaker, it is a cold night in Canberra.

MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Moore, I will take your advice and ponder it slowly.

Mrs Carnell: What does it say? I cannot read it.
