MR COLLAERY: There is nothing racist in it.
Mr Humphries: Mr Speaker, I would ask Mrs Grassby to withdraw the suggestion that the Attorney-General is racist.
MR SPEAKER: I am afraid I did not hear that; there was so much chatter going on. What is to be withdrawn, Mr Humphries?
Mrs Grassby: I do not think I need to withdraw that. If I have to withdraw that remark, the Attorney-General must withdraw the remark that he made about me. It was a racist remark, as far as I am concerned.
MR SPEAKER: I will review the Hansard and report back to the Assembly. There is too much chatter and banter going on. Please proceed, Mr Collaery.
MR COLLAERY: Thank you, Mr Speaker. This Bill put forward today would allow, in theory, half the frolic to be conveyed to - - -
Mr Berry: I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. He is debating a piece of legislation that is already on the notice paper and he will have the opportunity to do that during the course of debate.
MR SPEAKER: I uphold your objection there, Mr Berry. Mr Collaery, I believe that you are going against standing orders.
MR COLLAERY: Yes, Mr Speaker; I could not wait.
MR SPEAKER: Have you concluded your statement?
MR COLLAERY: Certainly.
Hospital Redevelopment
MR CONNOLLY: My question is to Mr Humphries as Minister for Health. Minister, a major plank in the Government's hospital redevelopment plan was the formation of working parties which were going to contain people with expertise in the health system. I understand that there was to be consultation, which was to be done before the master development control plan was finalised. Minister, is the reason that that plan has not been released that it does not comply with the Government's hospital budget?
MR HUMPHRIES: I could be facetious by giving the short answer "no".
Mr Connolly: We would not believe you.
