Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 9 Hansard (7 September) . . Page.. 3002 ..

MR SPEAKER: Order! Now, come on! Just a minute. That is not a personal explanation, Mr Smyth.

Mr Corbell: I take a point of order, Mr Speaker. That is a substantive allegation that can only be made by way of substantive motion. I would ask the minister to withdraw it.

MR SMYTH: I apologise, Mr Speaker. I did say "inadvertently misled the Assembly". I would ask him to withdraw.

MR SPEAKER: No, I am sorry. This is not a personal explanation.

Mr Corbell: He can do it by substantive motion. Mr Speaker, I ask you to direct the minister to withdraw the claim.

MR SPEAKER: Please withdraw the suggestion that he has misled the Assembly.

Mr Smyth: I am happy to withdraw, Mr Speaker.

MR SPEAKER: Secondly, Mr Smyth, this is not a personal explanation. You are now quoting facts and figures. If it is true that Mr Corbell was wrong about them, then it should be Mr Corbell who is standing up saying, "I am sorry. I quoted the wrong figures." If you want to make a statement on the matter so we can have a full debate, then I am happy for you to move the appropriate motion. Move a motion. We will have a debate on it.
