expedited to the advantage of this community so that the impediments currently in the way are removed. The third part of the motion has to do with the longer-term problem of the Government getting in place proper and appropriate planning and land use legislation and processes.
I think they are each matters that need to be dealt with; they all need to be dealt with fairly quickly; they all need positive action either from the Government or from this Assembly; and I think the motion, other than that, speaks for itself.
MR WHALAN (Minister for Industry, Employment and Education)(5.36): Through you, Mr Speaker, I would like to remind Dr Kinloch of his speech this afternoon when he placed his hand on his heart and participated in a debate admonishing me for certain behaviour. I now seek from him an assurance, also with his hand on his heart, that he will support a motion admonishing his colleague Mr Moore for his unwarranted personal attack upon me and Ros Kelly during his speech here this afternoon.
He said, and I will quote exactly to Dr Kinloch what he said, "Paul Whalan and the member for Canberra, Ros Kelly, have been looking after their development mates". What is your answer, Dr Kinloch, hand on the heart? Will you support the motion? Will you support the admonishment of Mr Moore for this mendacious attack upon me?
Mr Collaery: Mr Speaker, the Deputy Chief Minister should address the Chair. I am sure Dr Kinloch will answer when he rises in the speaking order.
MR WHALAN: I said "through you".
MR SPEAKER: You did, thank you. The point is overruled. Please proceed.
MR WHALAN: I await with interest, Dr Kinloch, to see whether you are going to treat others as fairly as you treated me when you voted on that particular motion. Do you agree that that was an unwarranted personal attack on me and Ros Kelly for this man to say that we have been looking after our development mates? It is outrageous! Outrageous!
This Residents Rally party to which you belong - through you, Mr Speaker - is the sort of party that refers to the workers in the building industry as itinerant workers, and believes that they should accept their role as itinerant workers and that they should be happy to live in the Southside Caravan Park. These were the remarks made by your leader - your present leader - in this Assembly on a previous occasion.
We have seen your party gloating over the hardship caused by the decision of Justice Kelly, the hardship caused to the workers in this town - gloating over their hardship.
