MR WOOD: I wonder why an interloper from Molonglo has to come down and talk over the top of Mr De Domenico and Mr Kaine in respect of this matter. I do not know when I last heard some of these people making a definitive statement about Tuggeranong. Mrs Carnell has a big gag over your mouths. So, I think the time should come - - -
Mr De Domenico: Make a decision, Minister. Say yes or no. Go on.
MADAM SPEAKER: Order, Mr De Domenico!
Mr De Domenico: Where does Mrs Kelly live? In Wickham Crescent, Red Hill.
MADAM SPEAKER: Order! Mr De Domenico, you are yelling so loudly that you cannot hear me.
Ms Follett: Madam Speaker, on a point of order, I would like to draw members' attention to the racket they are making. It is completely impossible on this side of the chamber to hear anything because of the continued and extremely loud interjections opposite. I would urge members to just collect themselves a bit. It is not quite end-of-school break-up yet.
Mr De Domenico: Oh!
MADAM SPEAKER: Mr De Domenico, order!
MR WOOD: Madam Speaker, not only that; it is very hard to find out exactly what Mrs Carnell is saying. She got a real doing at a meeting last night - - -
Mr Kaine: I raise a point of order, Madam Speaker. If the Leader of the Opposition could not be there, why was Mr Lamont there? He knows what I mean.
MADAM SPEAKER: I will pass on that one, Mr Kaine. It is not a point of order.
MR WOOD: Mrs Carnell got a real savaging at a meeting last night, and today she seems to have changed her tack again. I understand that today she will be saying, via the MPI, that she wants a retail study. So, she is changing direction again because she gets caught out. She has not yet learnt the secret - it is not a great secret, I might say; it is pretty clear knowledge - of a calm, considered, reasoned approach to events. Mrs Carnell rushes out and gets herself into trouble.
Mr Lamont: Six-shot Kate!
MR WOOD: Six-shot Kate; well, it is usually one shot that way. We may discern some intelligence behind Mrs Carnell's jumping up and down and moving around the place if she elaborates during the MPI today. While she has been talking, while she has been unilaterally making decisions for the Liberals, while she has been jumping to conclusions, the Government has been giving calm and considered deliberation to this issue.
