Planning and Environment Legislation
MR BERRY (Deputy Chief Minister) (6.15), in reply: In wrapping up the adjournment debate, let me say, having placed the first guillotine motion on the record in this place, that it has been a great delight to me to be able to whip up a fervour of action on a very important Bill. I notice that some members in the house sought to threaten me as a result of the pressure that I was putting on them. It was a hollow threat, another meaningless threat, and a bit of fancy dancing.
Mr Speaker, there is one apology that I have to make. I was 10 minutes out in the first place; but I suspect that, with a little bit of pressure, members could have dealt with the legislation within the hours originally prescribed. I think it was a sterling effort by the staff to deal with this issue. They have had to deal with a lot of complex motions, some meaningful and some meaningless, and they have done so with a great deal of tolerance. They are to be congratulated.
Mr Jensen: Mr Speaker, I seek leave just to make some brief comments.
Leave not granted.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Assembly adjourned at 6.17 pm until Tuesday, 10 December 1991, at 2.30 pm
