PERSONAL EXPLANATION
MR ACTING SPEAKER: Mrs Carnell, I understand that you have a personal explanation.
MRS CARNELL (Leader of the Opposition): That is right.
Mr Lamont: Pursuant to what?
MRS CARNELL: Standing order 46. Is that all right?
Mr Lamont: It is okay. Ask the Acting Speaker.
MR ACTING SPEAKER: Order!
MRS CARNELL: Thank you very much. Mr Connolly, in question time, misrepresented me, Mr Acting Speaker. He suggested that I said that we needed a decompression chamber for the ACT. That is not true. What I did say in that interview - and now you have to listen, Mr Connolly - is that we needed a 10-year plan for Health, and that there were a number of things we needed before we needed a decompression chamber, and they were things like cardio-thoracic surgery and improved cancer treatment - and the list went on. What I said in that interview was that hardware of this nature would have to be down the track for the ACT, secondarily. It seems that you misled the house. In answer to the same question, he misled this house again, when talking about the $34m.
Ms Follett: Mr Acting Speaker, I raise a point of order. Mrs Carnell has commented that my colleague misled the house. She needs a substantive motion to use those words, and I would ask that they be withdrawn.
MRS CARNELL: He said the same.
Mr Connolly: No, I said, "Mr Humphries, be careful not to mislead the house".
MR ACTING SPEAKER: Order! There is far too much noise in the chamber. Mrs Carnell, you were making a personal explanation. I think that you are clarifying the points that you made, and therefore the suggestion that Mr Connolly misled the house, I think, is probably putting the wrong interpretation upon it. I ask whether you would withdraw that.
