MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Concentrating on the matters at hand.
MR HANSON: I will concentrate on the matter at hand and that is whether we should censure Simon Corbell or not. What I was speaking to was the fact that I have got nine issues where he has misled this Assembly, which I believe are all relevant to whether—
Mr Corbell: On a point of order.
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Mr Hargreaves): Stop the clock. Please resume your seat, Mr Hanson.
Mr Corbell: Moving this motion does not allow Mr Hanson to stand up in this place and suggest that there are nine separate instances where I have misled this Assembly. I can assure you, Mr Assistant Speaker, that there is absolutely no basis in the standing orders to permit him making that allegation. The allegation is quite clear in the substantive motion before the Assembly and Mr Hanson should, consistent with Madam Assistant Speaker’s immediate previous ruling, confine himself to the matters that are in the motion.
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Mr Hanson, I find that the point of order by Mr Corbell is sustained. Will you please stick to the question at hand. The motion is around the censure of Mr Corbell for statements around the RSPCA. I think you have deviated far enough from the subject. Please come back to it.
MR HANSON: Thank you, Mr Assistant Speaker. I move an amendment to Mr Coe’s motion:
After “RSPCA”, add “and other matters”.
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: You formally move it? You need to formally move it.
MR HANSON: I move that motion, yes.
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: There is a formal set of words.
MR HANSON: I move the motion—
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Has it been circulated?
MR HANSON: It will shortly be circulated in my name.
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: The question is that Mr Hanson’s amendment, as yet to be circulated, to Mr Coe’s motion be agreed to. Mr Hanson.
MR HANSON: I did not really want to have to move an amendment. I think it is relevant that we would go to other matters where there have been disputes about Mr Corbell’s misleading the community and this Assembly, but now we have the amendment I will continue.
