I indicated that I would be prepared to do that provided I had adequate staff to support me. I made a simple request, which I am not in the slightest bit ashamed about, for a research officer class 5 and an assistant level 2 for my support. With that, I would be prepared to do that extra work; without it, I am not, because of the extra time that would be required. It is as simple as that. There it is out in the open. It seems to me that we would do far better to have each of the committees consist of a Labor member and a Liberal member, or two Labor members and two Liberal members, and one other.

It is a great disappointment to me that the initial suggestion that came out of a motion by Mr Berry last week was that Mr Stevenson be the member on those two committees. I feel that the real problem lies there; that Mr Stevenson is not prepared to put his weight in this Assembly on the committees. I find it a great disappointment, as I suspect most members do.

Mr Berry: Especially the ones who are already on four committees.

MR MOORE: Particularly those who are already on a large number of committees. I urge him to reconsider his position in respect of those two committees so that those committees can be sorted out and the work of the Assembly, in a cooperative fashion, can go ahead.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Assembly adjourned at 9.08 pm
