Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2001 Week 8 Hansard (9 August) . . Page.. 2689 ..

Mr Humphries: What did you say, then?

Mr Stanhope: I might be able to clarify that, Mr Speaker. It is coming back to me slowly but surely. I think, in fact, Mr Quinlan was talking to me. I have some recollection now that he was talking about the esteem in which the Chief Minister was held within the community; he was talking about the esteem in which the community holds the Chief Minister. I said, "Surely not." He actually referred, I think, to the Chief Minister's rugged good looks.

Mr Moore: "Condescending, bloody woman" is what he said, and you should be condemning him.

Mr Stanhope: No, he did not.

Mr Moore: You should be condemning him for saying it. You are the spokesman for women's affairs.

Mr Stanhope: I think that it was reported that he said, "Bloody fool," but I have the recollection now that he might have said, "The ruddy jaw."

Mr Rugendyke: Mr Speaker, surely there is a standing order to which I can relate a point that suggests that we get on with what is on the daily program. This is childish and nonsense.

MR SPEAKER: Mr Rugendyke, I do wish that the people of the ACT could see some of these games that are played in this place.
