MR DE DOMENICO: I have a supplementary question, Madam Speaker.
Mr Lamont: At least I did not have to get my mates in New South Wales to lie for me, as you did.
MADAM SPEAKER: Order!
MR DE DOMENICO: Madam Speaker, seeing that the TAB is in such a wonderful position as to be able to pay these millions of dollars worth of debts that it has incurred because of the VITAB fiasco, will the Minister provide the Assembly with a copy of the agreement, which the Minister signed, between ACTTAB and VITAB? If not, why not?
MR LAMONT: Madam Speaker, I am a little worried. I certainly hope that Mr De Domenico has a prescription for whatever he has been smoking today.
Mr De Domenico: Will you provide a copy of the VITAB deal, which you signed, Mr Lamont?
MR LAMONT: The answer has been provided time and again, on each occasion when Mr De Domenico has asked the question. I refer him to all of those answers.
Mr De Domenico: So, the answer is no. What do you have to hide, Mr Lamont? Another shonky deal.
Ms Follett: On a point of order, Madam Speaker: Mr De Domenico has made a number of interjections using the words "shonky deal" and "another shonky deal". I think they should be withdrawn.
Mr Humphries: It certainly was a shonky deal.
MADAM SPEAKER: The term "shonky deal" is out of order. We have ruled on that before. I ask you to withdraw it.
Mr De Domenico: I think I said "appears to be a shonky deal"; but, if it upsets Ms Follett, I will withdraw it, Madam Speaker.
Ms Follett: And Mr Humphries.
Mr Humphries: I withdraw.
Heroin Law Reform
MR BERRY: Madam Speaker, My question is to the Attorney-General. In January 1992, during the debate on a heroin trial, Bill Stefaniak, the then Liberal spokesperson, said, "The party totally rejects the idea of a trial". In January this year Mrs Carnell - that is the one sitting on your right over there, boys; you know, David Prowse mark 2. Have you checked her out for monkey bites? The Liberal Party attracts these sorts of people, does it not?
