Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 8 Hansard (30 August) . . Page.. 2645 ..

Mr Quinlan: She did not mind making the claim before about how much it was going to bring in.

Mr Kaine: She did not have any trouble with dorothy's rhetorical question.

MR SPEAKER: Hypothetical matters under standing order 117(b)(vii) are out of order. I call Mr Osborne.

Mr Berry: Mr Speaker, are you going to give me a supplementary?

MR SPEAKER: You have just had a supplementary.

Mr Berry: No, I have not. I asked the question. That was a repeat of the question.

Ms Carnell: You cannot have a supplementary to an out-of-order question.

Mr Moore: "Supplementary" means attached to the previous question.

MR SPEAKER: That is right. Sit down. Mr Osborne, please.

MR OSBORNE: Mr Speaker, sometimes when I come into question time I look at the public gallery and I am staggered that it is not full.

MR SPEAKER: Just ask your question, Mr Osborne. It may be your preface to the question that is clearing the public gallery. I suggest you get on with your question, please.

MR OSBORNE: I think that might be the reason behind Mr Berry's hair loss. He is from the tropical north as well.

MR SPEAKER: Never mind-get on with it.

MR OSBORNE: So if you move back it might grow back.

Mr Berry: If you start with hair jokes, you will be leaving the door open, old son. I will start talking about front-rower jokes.

MR SPEAKER: Order! Mr Osborne, please.

MR OSBORNE: My question is to the Chief Minister and it is not about Bruce. I listened with interest to the Chief Minister's comments this morning about negotiations between CTEC, I think, and the Kangaroos football club regarding AFL matches to be played here next year. I understand there is an issue over guarantees. Could you tell us how much money the Kangaroos are chasing? Are you able to tell us just how these negotiations are going and whether or not we will have some matches here next year?
