MR SPEAKER: The question now is that notice No. 7 concerning Hackett Primary School be agreed to.

The Assembly voted -

AYES, 7  NOES, 10

Mr Berry Mr Collaery
Mr Connolly Mr Duby
Ms Follett Mr Humphries
Mrs Grassby Mr Jensen
Mr Moore Mr Kaine
Mr Stevenson Dr Kinloch
Mr Wood Ms Maher
 Mrs Nolan
 Mr Prowse
 Mr Stefaniak

Question so resolved in the negative.

MR SPEAKER: I call Mr Jensen on a personal explanation.

MR JENSEN: Mr Speaker, during the debate and interjections, Mrs Grassby said that I had told the Lyons community that I would save their school. Mr Speaker, I wish to advise the house that I reject that statement totally. At no time did I promise such a thing. In fact I said that I would argue their case before my colleagues but that to make such a promise would be dishonest. That was, in fact, the point that I put to the people of Lyons and I wish that to go into the record. I would suggest that such statements are despicable.

Sitting suspended from 12.37 to 2.30 pm

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr Speaker Prowse

MS FOLLETT: My question is to the Chief Minister. I refer Mr Kaine to recent speculation that he is about to replace Mr Prowse as Speaker. Mr Kaine, on 18 October you said in relation to Mr Prowse, "You have my utmost confidence, Mr Speaker". Do you stand by that statement?

MR KAINE: I do not know that I ought to be commenting on Labor Party speculation and rumour.

Members interjected.

MR KAINE: My confidence in the Speaker has not changed.
