MR DOSZPOT: Thank you, Madam Deputy Chair. I thank Mr Gentleman for his absolutely critical interjection. He has not said boo about any of the issues even though it comes across his portfolio. Yet the mere fact that I addressed Mr Rattenbury incorrectly is obviously such a huge issue. I apologise, Madam Deputy Speaker, and I am talking through you.

Again, Mr Rattenbury has proven how little we can trust his words. As Mr Hanson pointed out, we have got to stop being so trusting when we get information from our Greens colleague, who will always stick with government, regardless of what the community wants.

Question put:

That Mr Doszpot’s amendment to Mr Barr’s proposed amendment be agreed to.

The Assembly voted—

Question so resolved in the negative.

Mr Barr’s amendment agreed to.

Motion, as amended, agreed to.
