Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 12 Hansard (13 November) . . Page.. 4122 ..

MR SPEAKER: Withdraw that, Mr Corbell. I did not hear it, but if you did say that - - -

Mr Corbell: I was having a private discussion, Mr Speaker.

Mr Humphries: That is no excuse, Mr Corbell. It was heard and it will be in Hansard.

Ms Tucker: It was a very loud private discussion.

Mr Humphries: Mr Speaker, on a point of order: I realise that having such close proximity to the liar in front of him would make it very easy for him to feel that lies could be sprayed around very easily without people having any concern about that. The fact of the matter is that he did say that, Mr Speaker.

MR SPEAKER: Order! This is going to degenerate. I would ask you to withdraw, Mr Corbell.

Mr Berry: And him.

MR SPEAKER: Yes, and then I will ask Mr Humphries.

Mr Corbell: Mr Speaker, I withdraw that the Chief Minister deliberately misled the house.

MR SPEAKER: Thank you. Mr Humphries, would you withdraw.

Mr Humphries: I withdraw that Mr Berry is a liar.

MR SPEAKER: Thank you.
