Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 7 Hansard (28 June) . . Page.. 2123 ..


Mr

Hargreaves: You are a stranger to the truth.

Mr

Humphries: Mr Speaker, I ask that the comment "straying from the truth" be withdrawn.

Mr

Hargreaves: Oh, come on! No.

MR

SPEAKER: Withdraw.

Mr

Hargreaves: No. I am not going to be Gary-ed anymore.

MR

SPEAKER: Withdraw, otherwise I will deal with you.

Mr

Hargreaves: Mr Speaker, I withdraw the comment that Mr Humphries is a stranger to the truth; I just do not think they have been introduced.

MR

SPEAKER: I wish all members would concentrate on the matter. We have a great deal of business before us. I am getting very tired of the preciousness that is going on in this chamber.

Mr

Humphries: Mr Speaker, I have to insist that the comments that were just made by Mr Hargreaves also be withdrawn.

MR

SPEAKER: Withdraw those please, Mr Hargreaves, and get on with it.

Mr

Hargreaves: I am sorry, Mr Speaker. I withdraw my comments suggesting that Mr Humphries has never been introduced to the truth. I am sure he has, but I just do not know whether he has acknowledged that yet.

MR

SPEAKER: Do not get smart.

Mr

Hargreaves: Mr Speaker, I must say, in response to your directions to me, that I have withdrawn, but I am getting sick of being Gary-ed.

MR

SPEAKER: I am tired of talk back.

Mr

Humphries: Mr Speaker, I hope we can conduct this debate without having continuous name calling in this place. We on this side of the house have certainly not engaged in it and I hope members opposite are able to restrain themselves.

Mr

Hargreaves: Sanctimonious windbag.

Mr

Humphries: Mr Speaker-

Mr

Hargreaves: I withdraw that one too, Mr Speaker, in deference to the minister.

MR

SPEAKER: Order, please. Come on-would everybody start acting like adults, thank you. You are here to represent the community and I would hope you would do it responsibly.
