Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 7 Hansard (29 June) . . Page.. 2252 ..
MR BERRY: During question time Mr Moore reflected adversely on my period as health minister and misrepresented my position entirely.
Mr Moore: That is a matter of opinion and he is debating the matter, Mr Speaker. You can't debate the matter.
MR BERRY: I am not debating the matter.
MR SPEAKER: Not yet, you aren't, but I am watching.
MR BERRY: Mr Speaker, when Mr Moore reflects adversely on me again in future, I hope he lists these achievements and then compares himself to me.
Mr Moore: Mr Speaker, this is clearly debating the matter. If he is going to list his achievements, it is just debating the matter.
MR SPEAKER: Get on with it. Yes, you are now pushing your luck, Mr Berry. Be careful. This is a personal explanation.
MR BERRY: This is. I was misrepresented, Mr Speaker. He compared his period as health minister with mine, and he misrepresented the position. If you do not want me to put it on now, I will put it on later.
Mr Moore: Mr Speaker, on a point of order: standing order 46 is very clear. Such matters may not be debated.
MR SPEAKER: No, Mr Berry, you can do that on the adjournment if you wish.
MR BERRY: I can do it now, Mr Speaker.
MR SPEAKER: It is not a personal explanation.
Mr Moore: You know that Mr Berry always pushes the standing orders. It is quite clear. Sit him down, Mr Speaker. Sit him down.
MR SPEAKER: I know. He certainly does, and he likes pushing this one.
MR BERRY: What, when you are attacked personally you can't respond-
MR SPEAKER: You may explain matters of a personal nature.
MR BERRY: This is very personal. It is very personal. I was the one who was under attack.
Mr Moore: Even if he was he can't debate it.
MR BERRY: I was the one who was under attack. So, Mr Speaker, I will go on with the list of achievements.
