have not enough sense, enough nous, enough energy, enough ability, enough anything to do anything except sit there and snivel and whinge and complain. Do not talk to me about misrepresentation. The only misrepresentation that comes across in this house is what comes from you, and that is often. That is from Hansard.
Compulsory Retirement
DR KINLOCH (12.14 am): I am very delighted, indeed, that Mr Greiner's Government has been named because, of course, there is some very good news for all of us. I am sure everyone here will suddenly stiffen the backbone and be very thrilled to know that the radical government of Mr Greiner is opposing compulsory retirement based on age. That is to be abolished in New South Wales.
The decision to introduce special legislation means that experienced employees can continue to contribute their skills and knowledge to the work force beyond the existing retirement age. It is a wonderful thought to contemplate that all of us, 20 years from now, may still be here speaking away in adjournment debates.
Mrs Grassby: God forbid. I could not stand it.
DR KINLOCH: Ellnor, you can make it. Mr Speaker, it has been a wonderful day. I want to congratulate all members of the house for a lively day. There has been lovely, extravagant rhetoric on both sides. We have shown that we are all young people ready to face the challenges that Mr Greiner has put before us for the future.
Personal Explanation
MR BERRY (12.16 am): Pursuant to standing order 46, I seek leave to speak. I have been misrepresented.
Leave granted.
MR BERRY: Mr Kaine said that there were no dissenting voices at the forum. I, very clearly, objected to the way the forum was being steered by the Chief Minister and those Liberal members of the New South Wales Government. I made it very clear to the Chief Minister, who chaired that meeting, that the most appropriate source, in terms of seeking extra funding for that New South Wales road, was the New South Wales Government. Ultimately, the forum accepted that an approach should be made to the New South Wales Government.
Mr Duby: On a point of order: that is just simply not true, Wayne. The forum accepted no such thing.
