Do not misrepresent me, Mr Parton, in the way that you have.
Mrs Dunne: A point of order, Madam Assistant Speaker. This is not a point of order; this is a debate. If the Chief Minister thinks he has been misrepresented, there is a process in standing orders to cover that.
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: I believe the Chief Minister raised the issue that he was being mispresented, Mrs Dunne.
Mrs Dunne: Yes, and he raised it as a point of order.
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Correct.
Mrs Dunne: It is not permissible to raise being misrepresented as a point of order. Stop the clock so that Mr Parton can continue to speak.
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Stop the clock, please.
MRS DUNNE: The Chief Minister has not raised a point of order. He has claimed to be misrepresented—
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: He has raised a point of order that he was misrepresented.
MRS DUNNE: The standing orders allow him to address that after Mr Parton has spoken, not during Mr Parton’s speech.
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Thank you, Mrs Dunne; I have heard what you are saying. Mr Barr also raised the fact that Mr Parton has not been relevant throughout the speech and that he was misrepresented. There were two points to Mr Barr’s point of order. I have also drawn to the attention of Mr Parton that he should be more relevant and address the motion and/or the amendment. Mr Parton has chosen to go off on three separate occasions now. Mr Parton, could you firstly withdraw your comment misrepresenting Mr Barr and—
Mrs Dunne: No, he does not have to. Mr Barr has not substantiated that, so he does not have to withdraw it.
Mr Barr: I will do that as a separate process afterwards.
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Thank you. Mr Parton, will you please stay relevant to the motion and/or the amendment.
MS CHEYNE: Point of order.
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Ms Cheyne, a point of order.
