Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 3 Hansard (9 April) . . Page.. 824 ..

MR BERRY: "Those opposite receive money from the Labor Club". We receive no money at all.

MR SPEAKER: The matter has been looked at before, and I have ruled that, unless an individual is named, then - - -

Mr Whitecross: You have ruled both ways on this.

MR SPEAKER: No; I have ruled before that a collective statement does not call for a personal explanation or a withdrawal.

MS TUCKER (5.37): Mr Speaker, I seek leave to make another comment after listening to Mrs Carnell. Is that possible?

Leave granted.

MS TUCKER: I just want to say that I still will not support this motion. However, I listened to what Mrs Carnell said and I am very concerned about the information on what the club says about the poker machines. I just want to put on record that, in essence, I think the Labor Party does have to think very seriously about that issue; that is, the legislation. When the poker machine legislation is being discussed they do have to look very carefully at that.

Question put:

That the motion (Mrs Carnell's) be agreed to.
