MR MOORE (5.13): I have listened to the debate on this issue, Madam Speaker. It is interesting that Mr De Domenico says something along this line: "So what is different? You have had three years to do something and now you tell us that you are going to do something about it". The difference is that the Minister in this house has given an assurance. That is a major difference indeed, Madam Speaker. The matter that Mr De Domenico seeks to achieve will be achieved. I am going to accept the Minister's assurance that that will be achieved in that way. I shall not support this amendment.

Question put:

That the amendment (Mr De Domenico's) be agreed to.

The Assembly voted -

AYES, 6  NOES, 9 

Mrs Carnell Mr Berry
Mr Cornwell Mr Connolly
Mr De Domenico Ms Ellis
Mr Kaine Ms Follett
Mr Stevenson Mr Lamont
Mr Westende Ms McRae
 Mr Moore
 Ms Szuty
 Mr Wood

Question so resolved in the negative.

MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Stevenson, now that you are back in the chamber I wish to point out to you the requirements of standing order 161. I believe that your behaviour was not appropriate. I think that it would be appropriate for you to apologise to me and the chamber.

Mr Stevenson: Unfortunately, Madam Speaker, I believe that you and the other Labor members particularly in this Assembly are part of a cover-up of a senior - - -

MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Stevenson, I have asked you to apologise. You will apologise, please.

Mr Stevenson: As I said, I believe that you are part of a cover-up - - -

MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Stevenson, I now name you.

Mr Stevenson: You will not allow parliamentary privilege to be used in this parliament. It is an appalling situation.

MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Stevenson, order! I name you.
