Mr Kaine: No. I beg your pardon. Don't tell me what I have and what I don't have.
Mr Humphries: How do you know?
Mr Lamont: Because I can see from here.
Mr Kaine: I have tabled the document that I had. I also have some letters here which I am happy to table, if you do not have them already.
Mr Lamont: Is that the one that this one is part of?
Mr Kaine: I have no document similar to the one that he has in his hand, Madam Speaker.
Mr Lamont: This is the one that you tabled.
Mr Kaine: That is all I have.
Mr Lamont: But this is part of a document. You pulled it to pieces in front of us.
Mr Kaine: And I tabled it.
Mr De Domenico: Don't you talk about tabling documents.
MADAM SPEAKER: Just a minute, please. To have any documents tabled we will need a motion. So, could we have a motion with reference to the document that needs to be tabled? We can then deal with the motion.
Motion (by Mr Lamont) proposed:
That, pursuant to standing order 213, Mr Kaine be ordered to present the document from which he quoted and presented one page to the Assembly.
Mr Kaine: Madam Speaker, I quoted from a document which I tabled. Mr Lamont has it.
Mr Humphries: I raise a point of order, Madam Speaker. Standing orders require that a member produce a document from which he quoted. Mr Kaine has produced the document from which he quoted. He is not required under standing orders, nor can he be compelled by a motion under standing orders, to table other documents from which he did not quote.
MADAM SPEAKER: So, the motion before us is that Mr Kaine - - -
Mr Humphries: Madam Speaker, the point of order is that the motion should not be allowed. The motion is out of order.
MADAM SPEAKER: I was going to speak to it, Mr Humphries. The motion before us, therefore, Mr Humphries is suggesting, is out of order because it is asking for papers that Mr Kaine does not have.
Mr Kaine: That is right.
MADAM SPEAKER: Fine. I think we are all clear on that.
