MS FOLLETT: Would you like to stand up while you do it?
Mr De Domenico: No.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order! Mr De Domenico has withdrawn, Chief Minister.
MS FOLLETT: On a point of order: Mr Deputy Speaker, our standing orders require that members address the house while standing.
Mrs Carnell: Keep going.
Mr De Domenico: Keep going. Come on!
Mrs Carnell: It is because she is upset.
MS FOLLETT: I think it is just a sign of the standards opposite. As I have been saying, everybody expects politicians - - -
Mr De Domenico: I think it is because the kitchen is too hot and you should get out.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order! Continue, Chief Minister.
Mr Kaine: On a point of order: Mr Deputy Speaker, that was clearly a reflection on the Chair, and I think the Chief Minister should be asked to withdraw it.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: I did not hear what was said. Did you reflect on the Chair, Chief Minister?
MS FOLLETT: No, I did not. I reflected on the standards opposite, Mr Deputy Speaker.
Mr Kaine: Mr Deputy Speaker, she referred to your response and said that that was typical of the behaviour opposite.
MS FOLLETT: No, I did not.
Mr Kaine: If that is not a reflection on the Chair, I do not know what is.
MS FOLLETT: My reflection was upon Mr De Domenico's discourtesy in failing to obey the standing orders of this place by standing to address the Assembly.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order! I do not uphold the point of order. Continue, Chief Minister. Could everybody just settle down a little.
