Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 2 Hansard (27 February) . . Page.. 336 ..

MR WHITECROSS: I have a supplementary question. Given that Mrs Carnell does not know the nature of the technical problem, and presumably is not terribly interested in finding out - - -

Mrs Carnell: No, not exactly what the technical - - -

Mr De Domenico: What is the supplementary question?

MR SPEAKER: Order! This is not a dialogue.

MR WHITECROSS: Mr Speaker, I just heard an interjection across the floor from the Chief Minister that she knows exactly what the technical difficulty was.

Mrs Carnell: No, I did not say that.

MR SPEAKER: Order!

MR WHITECROSS: My question was, "What is the technical difficulty?". If Mrs Carnell knows, perhaps she would care to share it with the rest of us. Mrs Carnell, will you tell us when the problem will be solved? When it is solved, will you immediately provide the information which is currently missing to members of this Assembly?

MRS CARNELL: I will certainly provide that information when those opposite tell me what they want this information for, because I have never known them to ask a question along those lines before. I am very happy to get a detailed briefing on the technical details for those opposite. I am also, as I said to everybody here, more than willing to go back to providing the level of information provided under the previous Government.

MR SPEAKER: Mr Berry, do you have a point of order?

Mr Berry: No; I wish to make a personal explanation pursuant to standing order 46, Mr Speaker.

Mr De Domenico: We have not given him his question yet.

Mr Berry: I have had my question.

Mrs Carnell: I was going to ask that further questions be placed on the notice paper.

MR SPEAKER: Order!

Mr De Domenico: You have to wait until Mr Wood is briefed on what he has to ask.
