in an innovative way, with the objective of having individuals mature by identifying and taking responsibility for their actions and modifying and improving their behaviour.

As we know, counsellors are increasingly drawn to a conclusion that men - particularly men - have to undertake and understand their responsibility for their actions; that it was not caused to them by their mothers necessarily, by this society, by feminist action, and all the rest. I spent a fascinating hour or so with the Chief Police Officer, who happened to be accompanying me in Adelaide, and with a member of my staff. It seems that it would be most useful if Mr Jenkins could come to Canberra at some stage so that agencies can draw on his expertise and so that the Government can draw on his expertise in dealing with our processes to establish some method of assisting the community by tending to these perpetrators.

Mr Kaine: I request that any further questions be placed on the notice paper.

UNPARLIAMENTARY LANGUAGE

MR SPEAKER: On Wednesday, 20 March, I gave an undertaking to the Assembly that I would review Hansard and report back to the Assembly following a point of order concerning a statement made by Ms Follett that Mr Humphries had misled the Assembly. The incident is recorded at pages 69 and 70 of the proof Hansard. I have reviewed the Hansard and have concluded that the words "my first question during question time today, which related to Mr Humphries misleading the Assembly" do warrant withdrawal. I therefore request that Ms Follett withdraw those words.

Ms Follett: I withdraw the imputation, Mr Speaker.
