Mr Collaery: This man, Mr Speaker, is going through a whole catalogue of breaches of the orders.
MR SPEAKER: Please proceed, Deputy Chief Minister.
MR WHALAN: Mr Speaker, I apologise for using Mr Stevenson's Christian - if that is the appropriate appellation - name. We look forward to seeing that cartoon, to which I referred earlier, of Mr Collaery in bed with Mr Stevenson.

MR SPEAKER: Please proceed to the point, Deputy Chief Minister.
MR WHALAN: There will be plenty of opportunity. I see you in a fluoride bottle, also in one of the cartoons. We look forward to the rapid removal of fluoride from the water system after next week, if your motion is successful.
