Mr De Domenico: You are wrong.
MR LAMONT: I am sorry; this is information that, on your say-so, I have just gained from a number of sources. The breach of that award is an illegal act under a law of the Territory. I would suggest that Mr De Domenico get his facts correct in future, before asking questions in this house.
Tree Removal - Belconnen
MR WOOD: Madam Speaker, the other day Mr Stefaniak asked me a question about the removal of some trees, and I will give him the reply. My advice for Mr Stefaniak is that about a week ago City Parks removed several decrepit hakea and some grevillea shrubs from the median strip of Southern Cross Drive in the vicinity of the area he mentioned. These shrubs were removed as part of an ongoing upgrade of the shrub beds in decline in the Belconnen area. The predominant species removed was hakea, which is of similar appearance to some eucalypt species. The chips produced during the removal process were spread on the adjoining shrub beds. The stumps still remaining will be removed with a backhoe when clearances from ACTEW are obtained. Replanting will proceed in autumn, unless we get significant rain in the next few weeks.
PERSONAL EXPLANATION
MRS GRASSBY: Madam Speaker, I would like to take a point of order. Maybe Mr Kaine this morning inadvertently misled the house. It was in relation to the report on petrol.
MADAM SPEAKER: Mrs Grassby, if you want to deal with that, it would have to be by way of a censure motion or a - - -
MRS GRASSBY: In that case I will do it under standing order 47.
Mr Humphries: You cannot do it under standing order 47.
MADAM SPEAKER: Do you want to make a personal explanation in regard to what Mr Kaine said?
MRS GRASSBY: Yes.
Mr Kaine: If it is what I think she is going to say, it does not fit under that standing order.
