MR MOORE: Under standing order 47, Madam Speaker, I would like to clarify a misunderstanding by Mr Stevenson.

MADAM SPEAKER: Leave is granted.

MR MOORE: Thank you, Madam Speaker. Mr Stevenson suggested that my attack on his polling system had to do with his method. Whilst I might be prepared to attack it on that basis, that was not the question I raised. I would like to clarify what I said. The point that I made was that he can ask whatever questions he likes, and to the extent that he disagrees with the referendum he can ask the questions he likes to get the answers he wants. That is the position I put, rather than what was described by Mr Stevenson.

MR LAMONT: I also rise pursuant to standing order 47, Madam Speaker.

MADAM SPEAKER: Please proceed, Mr Lamont.

MR LAMONT: Madam Speaker, Mr Stevenson implied that I referred to three facets of legislation. In fact, there were four. I did not talk about just taxation. I went on and talked about expenditure. Mr Stevenson's selective quoting does not do justice to the issue that I raised in what I regarded as a quite bipartisan way.

MR WOOD (Minister for Education and Training, Minister for the Arts and Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning): Madam Speaker, under standing order 47, I would like to correct a statement. I did in fact see a great number of people on the abortion issue, and on a whole range of issues my doors are very wide open.

Question put:

That the motion (Mr Stevenson's) be agreed to.

The Assembly voted -
