Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 7 Hansard (25 June) . . Page.. 2124 ..

Ms Horodny: I argued this same thing all along. Do not pretend you do not know what we have been saying. We have been consistent on this.

MR HUMPHRIES: Ms Horodny, I know exactly what you have been saying. You have been saying tripe. That is what you have been saying. Mr Speaker, there were a couple of other points raised by Ms Horodny. She says she believes that the circumstantial evidence is that we have been fixing damage in Grevillea Park caused by a car rally by using Decade of Landcare moneys. Ms Horodny, I say it to you again: You might be on the crossbenches and you might feel that gives you less responsibility to back up the things that you say; but, if you have any hard evidence that there is any use of that money for that purpose, produce it. I can produce some evidence - - -

Ms Horodny: Did you have a look at the site before and after the car rally? No, you did not.

MR SPEAKER: Order! Mr Humphries has the floor.

MR HUMPHRIES: I can produce some evidence that the money was dedicated or was in the process of - - -

Ms Horodny: You did not look at the site before the rally and you did not look at the site after it.

MR SPEAKER: Order! Did you not hear me, Ms Horodny! I said that Mr Humphries has the floor.

MR HUMPHRIES: I can produce evidence that there was preparation for repair work at Grevillea Park before the car rally was even held. (Extension of time granted) I thank members. If I can prove to you that work was in train to spend money from Landcare on Grevillea Park before the car rally was held, will you withdraw the statements you have made?

Ms Horodny: How much money were you planning to spend before the rally?

MR HUMPHRIES: I cannot tell you that at the moment.

MR SPEAKER: This is not question time, Ms Horodny.

MR HUMPHRIES: I can produce evidence that money was going to be spent before the car rally. Will you apologise and withdraw?

Ms Horodny: I do not think so, Mr Humphries, because you knew the rally would be held there and you knew that it would create damage.

MR HUMPHRIES: No, I did not think so, Mr Speaker.

MR SPEAKER: Do not provoke her, Mr Humphries. Do not provoke her, or we will never shut her up.
