Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 3 Hansard (9 March) . . Page.. 864 ..

MR SPEAKER: I would suggest you all sit down. If you do not, I am going to adjourn the Assembly until the ringing of the bells. I suggest you are in for a long night otherwise.

MR WOOD: If Mr Osborne was suggesting that this was not a sale, he is even more incorrect in the assertions he made about Ms Follett. Let us put this on the record: The sale of public utilities was not a condition of signing on to that deal - absolutely, clearly, definitely, without any misunderstanding.

MR OSBORNE: Mr Speaker, under standing order 47, I seek to make a personal explanation. I have been misrepresented here. I can understand the embarrassment, especially of Mr Berry and Mr Wood, being members of the then Cabinet. All I said was that this debate has its origin back at the time when those two leaders signed the agreement.

Mr Wood: No, it does not.

Mr Stanhope: That is rubbish.

MR SPEAKER: Order! The house will come to order. If this keeps up people will be thrown out. There is no question about that. Do I make myself perfectly clear? I remind you again that I am not sure that anybody would wish not to be here for this significant vote.

Amendment (Mr Quinlan 's ), as amended, agreed to.
