Motion, as amended, agreed to.
PERSONAL EXPLANATION
DR KINLOCH: Mr Speaker, could I come back to the question of feeling that I have been misrepresented?
MR SPEAKER: Yes, please proceed, Dr Kinloch.
DR KINLOCH: "Count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother", to quote from 2 Thessalonians 3:15. I would like to make very clear what I am implacable about. The word "implacable" has been used in connection with members of the Rally. I am implacable, Michael, that we love you, that you are our Christian brother and that our love for you will continue. I wish to ask that you withdraw terms such as "I am your sworn enemy" or "I have a quest for revenge". I am neither your sworn enemy nor do I quest revenge. I ask that perhaps you could read out the very note that I sent you to wish you well in your new role.
Mr Moore: Your actions and words are opposing, Hector.
DR KINLOCH: I would also like to say - I do have a right here, I believe - that we all have personal convictions. One of mine is the implacability of that command. I have other personal convictions. I do not intend, as suggested, to intrude my personal convictions on what is the task of the committee to which I have just been appointed. I look forward to being part of that committee. I show no enmity towards anyone. I ask no-one to show enmity towards me.
Sitting suspended from 12.34 to 2.30 pm
