MR SPEAKER: What is the point of order?
Mr Whalan: Mr Speaker, the question is completely out of order. It bears no relationship to and is a total departure from the original question.
MR SPEAKER: Order, Deputy Chief Minister! Please do not debate the point of order. Please stick to the point of the question, Mr Collaery.
MR COLLAERY: I will rephrase the question, Mr Speaker. Minister, in view of your response, that you have given preliminary attention to this issue, will you again look at other budget priorities, including $299,000 for a new amenities building at the Belconnen Tip or land fill site, and will you undertake - - -
Mr Whalan: On a point of order, Mr Speaker; it is exactly the same question, and the use of the standing orders - - -
MR SPEAKER: Order! Mr Collaery, that is not a supplementary question as such. I think you are debating another point.
DISTINGUISHED VISITORS
MR SPEAKER: I would like to inform the Assembly that we have two members of the Norfolk Island Legislative Assembly, Mr John Brown and Mr Rick Robinson, present in the gallery. On behalf of all members, I extend a warm welcome to our visitors.
QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE
Government Cars
MR MOORE: My question is directed to you, Mr Speaker. Could you please inform the Assembly whether the members of the Residents Rally have handed back the keys to their government cars, or was their undertaking to do so merely grandstanding for the sake of any media presence at last Friday's preschool rally?
MR SPEAKER: Thank you, Mr Moore, for the question. I have received from Mr Collaery a letter advising that his party did not realise the full implications of its offer to sell the cars to provide money for the preschools. Mr Collaery therefore wishes to withdraw the offer and welcomes the use of the Assembly pool vehicles.
