Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 14 Hansard (12 December) . . Page.. 4822 ..

Mr Moore: On a point of order, Mr Speaker: I think it is entirely inappropriate for Mr De Domenico to indicate how you should act.

MR DE DOMENICO: Do it, Greg.

MR SPEAKER: Mr Moore, I warn you under standing order 202.

Mr Osborne: On a point of order, Mr Speaker: Why would you warn Mr Moore? All we want on the crossbenches is as fair a go as the Government.

MR SPEAKER: For persistently and wilfully obstructing the business of the Assembly.

Mr Osborne: Yes, but you have not given us a fair go today. That is why we are interrupting.

MR SPEAKER: You are going to be next.

Mr Osborne: I do not care. We have not had a fair go today.

MR SPEAKER: As you will.

MR DE DOMENICO: Thank you for your protection, Mr Speaker. Mr Speaker, under standing order 46 I wish to make a personal explanation because during question time this afternoon Mr Osborne suggested that he was not given a list - - -

Mr Osborne: On a point of order, Mr Speaker: Now Mr De Domenico is saying I am a liar.

MR SPEAKER: Sit down, Mr Osborne. He has not made any such allegation.

Mr Osborne: He said that I said something and it is not true. That is what he was about to say.

MR SPEAKER: Would you mind resuming your seat.

Mr Osborne: He is debating the matter, Mr Speaker. Pull him into line like you pull us into line.

MR SPEAKER: He is not debating the matter.

Mr Osborne: Pull him into line like you pull us into line. That is only fair.

MR SPEAKER: Sit down or I will - - -

Mr Osborne: No; you pull them into line as much as you pull us into line. That is fair.

MR SPEAKER: Mr Osborne, you are also warned.
