Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 13 Hansard (3 December) . . Page.. 4483 ..


MR MOORE (5.40): Mr Speaker, I seek leave to make a very brief statement - brief, not in the sense of Mr Whitecross, but brief in the sense of brief.

Leave granted.

MR MOORE: A great deal of the debate today has been around the fact that Mr Berry supposedly was named out of the blue and then off he went. I draw attention to page 52 of the uncorrected proof Hansard of yesterday when Mrs Carnell was answering a question that I asked. After the interjection of Mr Berry there on the answer Mrs Carnell was giving, Mr Speaker said:

Would you be quiet, Mr Berry. I have already reminded you of the two days' suspension.

So, even yesterday Mr Berry was warned about the consequences of his actions. This is not an isolated instance.

Question put:

That the motion (Mr Whitecross's) be agreed to.

The Assembly voted -

AYES, 5		 NOES, 11

Mr Corbell	Mrs Carnell
Ms McRae	Mr Cornwell
Ms Reilly	Mr Hird
Mr Whitecross	Ms Horodny
Mr Wood		Mr Humphries
		Mr Kaine
		Mrs Littlewood
		Mr Moore
		Mr Osborne
		Mr Stefaniak
		Ms Tucker
Question so resolved in the negative.
