Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 5 (Hansard) 16 May) . . Page.. 1412 ..

Retirement of Serjeant-at-Arms

MR HUMPHRIES (Attorney-General) (6.04), in reply: Can I close the debate, Mr Speaker, by saying that I always understood that one of the chief functions of a Serjeant-at-Arms was to physically assist in the expulsion from the chamber of members who had been miscreants against the standing orders. I do not think the Serjeant-at-Arms ever had to physically remove anyone from the chamber; he shakes his head. Perhaps you could name someone now, Mr Speaker, to give him that satisfaction before he goes.

MR SPEAKER: I could name all 17!

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Assembly adjourned at 6.04 pm until Tuesday, 21 May 1996, at 10.30 am
