MR BERRY (continuing):

The interpretation of how governments should be run can be best characterised by some of the things that Kate Carnell has done. She has blown up a hospital and one of our citizens was killed.

MR SPEAKER: Relevance, Mr Berry!

MR BERRY: You endorsed that.

MR SPEAKER: Relevance, Mr Berry!

MR BERRY: She put in a futsal slab.

MR SPEAKER: Relevance, Mr Berry!

MR BERRY: She fixed up the Bruce Stadium.

MR SPEAKER: Relevance, Mr Berry!

MR BERRY: With illegal expenditure.

MR BERRY: Those are the things that - - -

MR SPEAKER: You are under one warning already.

MR BERRY: They would put it back into context.

Mr Humphries: Mr Speaker, I have to take a point of order on this. It is totally unrelated to the amendment before the house. Mr Osborne's speech was probably also outside the relevance of that particular issue, but of course Mr Berry did not take a point of order on that.

MR WOOD (8.38): Mr Speaker, I wish to speak to the amendment and add to the correction of what Mr Osborne said. I have heard the Government on a number of occasions here try to blame the Labor Party for all these fire sales they are now going into. It is simply not the case. I was in Cabinet at the time when Rosemary Follett signed on to that. I remember quite clearly because we were very specific about it. We questioned Rosemary very deeply about it, and we got a very clear picture of what was and what was not required.

Mr Humphries: I take a point of order, Mr Speaker.

MR WOOD: You talk so much. You can sit down for a while.

MR SPEAKER: Sit down, Mr Wood. There is a point of order.

MR WOOD: No, he can sit down. He is a windbag.
