Mr Moore: Madam Speaker, if I could have the opportunity to clarify, under standing order - - -
MADAM SPEAKER: No; I have taken that question on notice. I am not interested. Please be seated, Mr Moore. I have taken that question on notice. We will leave it alone, Mr Moore.
PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS
MR MOORE: Madam Speaker, I seek to make a personal explanation under standing order 47.
MADAM SPEAKER: You may; that is not a problem.
MR MOORE: Thank you, Madam Speaker. I make it under standing order 47. It may well have been that I was misheard or misunderstood, so I point out the fact that Ms Szuty was elected under the same platform as I was, as the Michael Moore Independent Group. I make that clarification for the Minister's understanding.
MRS CARNELL (Leader of the Opposition) (3.26): I seek leave to make a personal explanation under standing order 46.
MADAM SPEAKER: Please proceed.
Mr Wood: I thought you were going to debate something.
MRS CARNELL: Never. I have never been known to do it, Mr Wood. Under standing order 46 I seek leave, as I said, to correct some statements the Chief Minister made in question time about comments that I had made the day before in a question to her about staffing figures. I seek leave to table the particular documents that I quoted from, which were the ACTGS staffing figures for 1993-94 and, of course, the quarterly staffing analysis September 1993 to December 1994, which show categorically that the staffing figures for 1992-93, at pay 26, were 22,805 and at the end of the year 1993-94 were 23,023. If they are wrong, Chief Minister, it is your own figures that are wrong.
Leave granted.
MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister and Treasurer): If I may make an explanation as well, Madam Speaker. Where Mrs Carnell is in error is in her reading of table 5 of appendix F of the annual report. Mrs Carnell, unfortunately, has added together the columns headed "Total" and "Inops". Mrs Carnell, that is an error. In fact, the inoperatives are included throughout the table and are shown separately in their own column as well.
