QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

MS FOLLETT: Mr Speaker, I have a question to you. It refers to an article in the Canberra Chronicle for this week which is attributed to you. A range of views and quotations are attributed to you. Is it appropriate for you, the Speaker, to reflect on the unanimous decisions of this Assembly - for instance, the one against French nuclear testing in the Pacific, and the criticism of Shell for their support of the Nigerian Government which recently committed what the British Prime Minister, John Major, has called judicial murder? Is it appropriate for you to reflect on those decisions of this place simply because you appear subsequently to have changed your mind on the issues?
