PERSONAL EXPLANATION
MR LAMONT (Minister for Urban Services, Minister for Housing and Community Services, Minister for Industrial Relations and Minister for Sport): Madam Speaker, pursuant to standing order 46, I wish to make a personal explanation as Minister for Sport.
MADAM SPEAKER: Leave is granted.
MR LAMONT: Thank you. At the beginning of his comments in relation to the matter of public importance before the house this day, Mr Humphries made a number of factually incorrect statements. I believe that it is appropriate that they be corrected. Mohammed Ali actually had 22 fights; Holmes had only 21. Mohammed Ali actually defended his title successfully three times. Mohammed Ali was the greatest.
MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Lamont, sit down.
SUSPENSION OF STANDING AND TEMPORARY ORDERS
Motion (by Ms Szuty) agreed to, with the concurrence of an absolute majority:
That so much of the standing and temporary orders be suspended as would prevent order of the day No. 1, Assembly business, relating to the establishment of a Select Committee on Community Initiated Referendums being called on forthwith.
