Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 12 Hansard (13 November) . . Page.. 4098 ..

Ms McRae: Just a minute. You said it was September 1995, and you said that Mr Berry was the Minister for Sport. That one.

Mrs Carnell: No; the first one was 1995.

Mr Berry: Who said that?

Mr Humphries: Members can be asked - - -

MR SPEAKER: Order! Mr Humphries has the floor.

Ms McRae: It is okay. It does not matter; it is all finished.

Mr Berry: It does not matter; it is all right. Rosemary Follett said it.

Mr Humphries: They have given up. That is fine.

Ms McRae: We have sorted it out. It is okay.

MR SPEAKER: Now, Mrs Littlewood, you have a supplementary question.

MRS LITTLEWOOD: Mr Speaker, my supplementary question is to the Chief Minister. Given that we are speaking about soccer, is the Chief Minister aware that on 1 November Mr Whitecross was seen accepting hospitality with a local soccer organisation and speaking to officials? Based on what we have seen this week, and the inferences drawn by those opposite, are we to expect Mr Whitecross to be offered a job somewhere?

MRS CARNELL: Mr Speaker, I was very interested - - -

Ms McRae: Is not this a hypothetical question, Mr Speaker?

MRS CARNELL: No, it was not hypothetical. I was there, too.

Members interjected.

Ms McRae: Mr Speaker, could we have some order in this place.

MR SPEAKER: What am I supposed to rule on - an own goal, or what?

Mr Corbell: On a point of order, Mr Speaker: The question is clearly hypothetical. You should rule it out of order.

MR SPEAKER: It is not hypothetical.

Mrs Littlewood: Mr Speaker, it was not hypothetical. It was 1 November; Mr Whitecross was there.
