Mr Stevenson, in tabling these documents, made a series of accusations and I believe that it is appropriate that the person who is named in these accusations, as far as our Hansard goes, has the opportunity to read those documents. It is a scurrilous set of documents and nothing is substantiated in it. I believe that it is inappropriate for the documents to be authorised for publication broadly, because we have no idea where they came from - there is no evidence about them - but I think it is appropriate that the person who has been named in the Hansard as being included in those have the right to read them.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
AMBULANCE SERVICE
Mr Berry: Mr Deputy Speaker, I move: That the Assembly do now adjourn.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: Before you do that, Mr Berry, I understand that Mr Humphries was to be given the call prior to your doing that.
Mr Humphries: Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker.
Mr Berry: I beg your pardon. The leader of the house was on his feet.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: I recognised Mr Humphries and I was advised of that, I think, by the Speaker.
Mr Berry: Mr Deputy Speaker, this is another demonstration of the way you behaved yesterday in relation to the management of this house, and I can tell you - - -
Mr Kaine: Are you threatening the Deputy Speaker?
Mr Berry: Mr Deputy Speaker, I am just informing you that what we expect is quality management from the Chair.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: That is what you are getting, thank you, Mr Berry. I call Mr Humphries.
Mr Humphries: I take a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. That came very close to a contempt of the Chair.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: It did come very close. Mr Berry, I would watch what you are saying.
Mr Berry: It came very close.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: Watch what you are saying.
