PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS

MR SPEAKER: Members, I would like to make a statement with respect to standing orders 46 and 47. Personal explanations under standing order 46 are usually lengthy and tend to detract from the flow of debate. I therefore appeal to members for restraint on this standing order until the conclusion of a debate. However, with standing order 47, it is usually a very short statement designed to ensure correct interpretation of a member's speech. Therefore, I am prepared to allow such an explanation at the conclusion of the speech in progress, but during the current debate. I appeal to members not to misuse this facility and, in raising the point of order, to declare that they wish to speak under the conditions which apply to standing order 47.

Sitting suspended from 12.41 to 2.30 pm

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Captains Flat Dam

MS FOLLETT: Before I ask my question, Mr Speaker, could we welcome the students and teachers from the Weetangera Primary School to the Assembly this afternoon. My question is to Mr Kaine in his role as environment Minister. Is he concerned about the release yesterday of water, possibly contaminated by heavy metals, from the Captains Flat dam into the Molonglo River and subsequently of course into Lake Burley Griffin? What action will the Minister take in this matter to prevent a recurrence?
