Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 6 Hansard (25 May) . . Page.. 1905 ..
MR SPEAKER: I was about to draw attention to that fact, thank you, Mr Berry. Do you have a motion to move, Mr Humphries?
Mr Humphries: Well, I still take exception to the remark from Mr Hargreaves.
Mr Berry: I don't care whether he takes exception or not.
MR SPEAKER: I did not hear the comment, actually.
Mr Berry: I don't care whether he takes exception or not. I just want him to abide by the standing orders.
MR SPEAKER: I did not hear the comment.
Mr Humphries: Mr Speaker, three members took points of order on matters a moment ago. I am taking one as well.
MR SPEAKER: Yes. They withdrew.
Mr Humphries: If Mr Hargreaves does not wish to withdraw, Mr Speaker, that's fine. I just note that I think it is rather churlish. I think it is contrary to the spirit of bipartisanship on which we have approached the issue of reconciliation within this place.
Mr Hargreaves: You are a stranger to bipartisanship anyway.
Mr Humphries: On reconciliation I am not, Mr Hargreaves. I am sorry you had to meet that issue in that way, Mr Speaker, but all right, fine. If he wants to be petty, that is up to him, Mr Speaker.
MR HUMPHRIES (Treasurer, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Community Safety) (11.01): I move:
That:
(1) the orders of the Assembly earlier this day appointing a Select Committee on Privileges and the subsequent motion amending paragraph (2) (d) of that resolution:
(2) the Assembly's vote on Mr Humphries' amendment to Mr Corbell's motion be rescinded; and
(3) the Speaker forthwith propose the question-"That Mr Humphries' amendment to Mr Corbell's motion be agreed to".
Mr Speaker, this is a motion that effects the rescission of the decision earlier today.
MR
CORBELL (11.02): Again I ask whether Mr Humphries is going to circulate his motion. I wish to move an amendment to it, but I cannot do so until I see the text of it. Mr Speaker, I do not know whether I need to seek leave to do this. I assume I do.
