Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1995 Week 9 Hansard (21 November) . . Page.. 2177 ..

Ms McRae: Mr Speaker, I raise a point of order. Could we have this clarified? I think that Mr Hird might have misled the Assembly. He is quoting from a press release that was released by Ms Follett, not by me. I was no longer the committee chair at that time. I think Mr Hird owes an explanation to the Assembly rather than mislead it.

Mr Humphries: But he quoted you.

Mrs Carnell: He quoted you.

Mr Humphries: Did you say it or not?

Ms McRae: He did not say that, though. You make it absolutely clear.

MR SPEAKER: Order!

Mr Hird: It does quote you.

Ms McRae: You did not say that. You said that it was my press release.

MR SPEAKER: Order!

Mr Hird: I said "the Opposition's press release".

Ms McRae: No; you said that it was mine, when I said, "Is it mine?". Just get your facts clear, Mr Hird.

Mr Hird: Does it say, or does it not say, the chair of the committee? Just answer that question. Who was the chair of the committee?

Ms McRae: It is not question time. You said that it was my press release.

Mr Hird: Do not do your flim-flam. Just answer the question. You were the chair.

MR SPEAKER: Order! The Chair has not seen the media release.

Ms McRae: It is Ms Follett's. He should explain himself. It is Ms Follett's, not mine. That is what I asked you, after all.

Mr Hird: You were not the chair?

Mr Humphries: But you are quoted in the release.

Mr Hird: Your quote.

Mr Humphries: They are your words.
