legislation has demonstrated how shallow he is and how the electorate should completely ignore him. He is bad news for this Assembly.
Mr Assistant Speaker, the staff member who has been fingered by Mr Mulcahy will feel as though he is in a very different position from the one he was in yesterday. This is about as low as you can go. Why didn’t you have the guts to raise it in the committee?
Mr Mulcahy: I raised a range of these things. You did not answer them.
MR BERRY: You did not raise that.
Mrs Burke: Mr Assistant Speaker, I raise a point of order under standing order 241 (d). I caution Mr Berry not to disclose anything that has been discussed in our committee meetings. Thank you.
MR BERRY: I could see why you would not want to it discussed. Give us a break! I am not dealing with anything that was raised in the committee, Mrs Burke. I am talking about the things that were not raised.
Mr Mulcahy: It is still a breach of the standing order.
MR BERRY: Oh!
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Order, Mr Berry! I remind members that it is only a breach of standing orders if the report has not been presented to the Assembly. It has been presented to the Assembly. There is no breach of the standing orders.
MR BERRY: As have the minutes, Mrs Burke, which expose you as the representative of the Liberal Party who supports the employment of family members here.
Mr Mulcahy: And Ms McDonald?
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Order, Mr Mulcahy!
MR BERRY: This is a desperate attempt by Mr Mulcahy to spray poison at anybody within close range. It tells us a lot about Mr Mulcahy that his potential electors need to know about. Mr Assistant Speaker, I support the proposal to deal with this bill as a whole. I urge members to support its early passage.
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Just before we go to the vote, I remind members of the ruling I made under standing order 156.
Bill as a whole agreed to.
Bill agreed to.
