In fact, one of the things most notable about tonight is that Mr Connolly, who has the ability to argue almost anything and make it sound plausible, stood up and gave some fairly limp arguments about the quality of this particular clause and was entirely unconvincing. It was probably the least convincing I have ever heard Mr Connolly because his heart was not in it. There is no doubt about it. Now that I have stirred him it is quite possible that he will stand up and argue his way out of a paper bag. The truth of the matter is that the only reason Mr Berry goes in for the personal attack is that he does not have a leg to stand on.

ADJOURNMENT
Motion (by Mr Berry) proposed:
That the Assembly do now adjourn.
Legislative Assembly Anniversary : Schools
MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (10.10): Madam Speaker, Mr Humphries drew attention earlier today to the fact that today is the fourth anniversary of the first sitting of this Assembly and thus this is the fourth anniversary of self-government. It is also the fourth anniversary of my election as Chief Minister - a position that, as it turned out, I was to be elected to three times in rather less than three years. I would like to again express my thanks to the Assembly for the great honour that they have done me.
