Mr Seselja interjecting—
MR SPEAKER: Members, please!
MS LE COUTEUR: Will the facility take compact fluorescent lights—
Mr Seselja interjecting—
MR SPEAKER: Order! One moment, Ms Le Couteur. Mr Seselja, we have just had to ask Ms Le Couteur, who you are aware is often softly spoken, to repeat her question. You then started interjecting. I mentioned your name and you interjected again immediately. You make it very difficult for me. You are now on a warning for repeated interjecting. Ms Le Couteur, continue with your question, thank you.
MS LE COUTEUR: Minister, what plans does the government have to collect compact fluorescent lights?
MS GALLAGHER: As I said in response to the first question, this is a matter that is being examined—
Mr Smyth: No waste by 2010 would have addressed it.
MS GALLAGHER: Thank you, Mr Smyth, as usual, for your helpful interjection.
MR SPEAKER: Let us just continue, thank you, Ms Gallagher.
MS GALLAGHER: I would ask that those opposite reflect on their own behaviour in the chamber. Mrs Dunne may find this funny but we turn up for question time to answer questions. The way you behave, we cannot even hear the questions that are being asked.
Mr Hanson: A point of order.
MR SPEAKER: Order! One moment. Stop the clocks, thank you. Mr Hanson.
Mr Hanson: I have a point of order on relevance. I am not sure that a lecture from the Chief Minister to the opposition on conduct in question time is necessarily in order, and I would ask that the minister get to the point of answering the question.
MR SPEAKER: I think we will just put the point of order to one side. Chief Minister, can we focus on Ms Le Couteur’s question, thank you.
MS GALLAGHER: So the details of that and any decisions we might take about that have not been finalised, but this issue is being examined carefully.
MS HUNTER: Supplementary.
MR SPEAKER: Yes, Ms Hunter.
