Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1998 Week 10 Hansard (25 November) . . Page.. 2877 ..


PERSONAL EXPLANATION

MR QUINLAN: Mr Speaker, I seek clarification under standing order 47.

MR SPEAKER: Standing order 46, I think. Proceed.

MR QUINLAN: The Chief Minister apparently misunderstood my question about the Cosmos. I did not at any time mention the demise of the Cosmos. Rather, I was inquiring as to whether forecasts were generally in need of revision, given the circumstances of the Cosmos. I find it very worrying that the immediate demise of the Cosmos would spring to the Chief Minister's mind so immediately.
