Every time Mr Moore gets up and involves himself with his usual tirade against the influences of Dr Kinloch or Norm or Bernard, it is always on a first name basis. You will notice that.
Mr Moore: I was quoting from the article.
MR DUBY: It amazes me. Look, Mike, Mr Moore, we accept you have split. We understand that. We do not want to know why any more. We have felt for you through those months and given you support. We have patted you on the back. The fact is that the nisi period is over; it is now absolute. Now that it is absolute, it is amazing how true to life it is, because, have you noticed, having completely divorced himself from his old partners, he is now looking for new ones? Have you noticed how well he is finding them? No matter what the issue or what the objective, right or wrong, he is going to back those people in the Labor Party all the way.
Well, I have bad news for Mr Moore. It turns out that, particularly with men, second marriages usually last a lot shorter than the first. I guarantee that it will be exactly the same with Mr Moore. So I would say this to Mr Moore, and I am talking from experience here: Look, we all accept it. They had their chance. You have split up. You have gone your separate ways. Let us leave it that way. We do not want to get involved in these petty, bitchy, little squabbles.
Residents Rally
DR KINLOCH (4.52): Mr Speaker, I do welcome the power of the Canberra Times. If there had been any reporters here from the Canberra Times I think they would be delighted to know that people are reading that column. They are reading Gus's advertisements and repeating Gus's advertisement and repeating the letter. I am grateful to Mr Moore for restating this so that we are getting the letter into Hansard.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Assembly adjourned at 4.53 pm
