MADAM SPEAKER: Being 20 seconds into the answer I think the minister—
Members interjecting—
MADAM SPEAKER: Members on both sides of the chamber!
Mr Hanson: It’s got to be relevant.
MADAM SPEAKER: I do not need any more guidance from you, Mr Hanson. The attorney was 20 seconds into his answer. He is free to answer the question as he likes as long as it contains policy subject matter relevant to the question. Attorney.
MR RAMSAY: Thank you, Madam Speaker. Noting that the question specifically asked about balancing the rights of members of the community with supposed rights of bikies let me make sure that the opposition is aware of how many bikie gangs there are in the ACT. It has been said on numerous occasions today by the other side that there are five. It is important that this misinformation is corrected.
Mr Hanson interjecting—
MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Hanson! One more time and you will be warned. Attorney.
MR RAMSAY: If the Canberra Liberals are serious about this matter they should not be afraid of having their misinformation corrected for the sake of the awareness of this Assembly and the broader community.
Mrs Jones: A point of order, Madam Speaker. Is the clock able to be stopped?
MADAM SPEAKER: My call.
Mrs Jones: May I ask that the clock be stopped, please?
MADAM SPEAKER: It is the Speaker’s call.
Mrs Jones: I am asking: can you please—
MADAM SPEAKER: I will stop the clock, but what is your point of order, Mrs Jones?
Mrs Jones: The point of order is on relevance. We are now down to 30 seconds left for the answer to this question. We have not yet heard anything relevant to the question, which was: how does the minister balance the rights of outlaw bikie gang members as opposed to innocent members of the community? That has not yet been even touched on by the minister.
Mr Rattenbury: Madam Speaker, on the issue of the application of standing orders, I note that the standing orders prevent interjection, and the attorney has been interjected against repeatedly.
