Mr Westende Mr Moore
 Mr Wood

Question so resolved in the negative.

Mr De Domenico: Shame on you, Michael. Michael does one thing and Moore does the other, eh?

Mr Moore: I raise a point of order, Madam Speaker. Standing order 52 states:

A Member may not reflect upon any vote of the Assembly, except upon a motion that such vote be rescinded.

I object to Mr De Domenico calling "shame" when I voted, and I consider that a reflection on that vote.

MADAM SPEAKER: Mr De Domenico, I would ask you to withdraw it.

Mr De Domenico: I said, "Shame, Mr Moore", Madam Speaker. It was not a reflection on the vote; it was a reflection on Mr Moore.

Mr Moore: It was a reflection on the way I voted.

MADAM SPEAKER: Mr De Domenico, I would ask you to withdraw it.

Mr De Domenico: Madam Speaker, on that point of order - - -

MADAM SPEAKER: Excuse me; the imputation is quite clear, Mr De Domenico.

Mr De Domenico: Not on the Chair, Madam Speaker, or on the vote of the Assembly; on Mr Moore. I said, "Shame, Mr Moore". I did not say, "Shame, Assembly", or "shame" anybody else.

MADAM SPEAKER: The standing order says, "A Member may not reflect upon any vote of the Assembly, except upon a motion that such vote be rescinded".

Mr Humphries: That is right; of the Assembly, not of Mr Moore.

MADAM SPEAKER: Thank you. I would prefer that Mr De Domenico withdraw. I will seek further advice on it and come back with a statement later. Let us proceed with the business of the day.
