MR LAMONT: Because I understood, when you moved your motion, that you wanted the notes, the comprehensive notes, that I was quoting from; and you got them.
Mr De Domenico: Let us throw logic into the wind, Mr Lamont.
MR LAMONT: You got them, Mr De Domenico. Now, if there is a problem with that, Madam Speaker, as I have said, I will table the document which I said my staff currently are looking for. One of my staff members is currently looking for it. I thought there were only two pages in the document that I received. If there are three, I will be interested to see what is on the third page, Mr De Domenico.
Mr De Domenico: Where did you get it from?
MR LAMONT: It was shoved under my door.
Mr De Domenico: From whom?
MR LAMONT: I have absolutely no idea.
Mr De Domenico: Right. Why did you not table it on that night, then? Why did you not table it on the night that you were asked to?
MR LAMONT: Because my understanding was that you wanted the notes that I was speaking from.
Mr De Domenico: No. Read the Hansard proof.
MR LAMONT: Well, I am sorry, Mr De Domenico. If in fact you want your own document tabled, for your own embarrassment - - -
Mr De Domenico: No; I have it here.
MR LAMONT: Well, okay; how about you table that?
Mr De Domenico: No; because you were asked to table it.
MR LAMONT: Okay; it is not a problem. If you give me a copy of that now before my staff member finds it, I am happy to table it for you.
Mr De Domenico: No; we want to find out where you got yours from.
MR LAMONT: I have absolutely no difficulty in tabling either the quote, which was read into Hansard, or the full document.
Mr De Domenico: Why did you not table it yesterday?
MR LAMONT: Because it was my understanding, Mr De Domenico, that you were misinformed as to what you were saying, which is not unusual.
Mr De Domenico: No.
MR LAMONT: It is not unusual.
Mr Kaine: Deliberate deception, I am afraid.
