House of Assembly Fifty-First Parliament, Third Session (51-3) 51 3 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Personal Explanation Personal Explanation Member's Remarks MEMBER'S REMARKS Ms SIMMONS House of Assembly Morialta Ms SIMMONS (Morialta) (22:17): I seek leave to make a personal explanation. The Chair House of Assembly The CHAIR: Does the member claim to have been misrepresented? Ms SIMMONS House of Assembly Ms SIMMONS: Yes, Madam Chair. Leave granted. Ms SIMMONS House of Assembly Ms SIMMONS: Earlier this evening the member for Finniss made a personal explanation saying that I had implied that he had left out the MFS in a speech. The member for Kavel very wisely told the house that the Hansard would correctly reflect what was actually said, and I have here the extract from Hansard which I will read out to the house. What I said was: The member for Finniss has been quite personal and disparaging of the Attorney-General but— and there is a dash there because I paused— and I speak as a member of parliament who has been very involved with both the CFS and the MFS in my electorate—this legislation will provide new governance for everyone who has been providing this valuable service. At no time did I make any comments about the member for Finniss's involvement with the MFS. I did, however, comment on the member for Finniss's disparaging and personal comments on the Attorney-General. I find that Hansard does an amazing job, and I recommend that, before jumping up and down, the member for Finniss get himself an advance copy of the Hansard. I would also like to take this opportunity to compliment our Hansard reporters, because not only are they very accurate but they are incredibly speedy in their reactions. The Chair House of Assembly The CHAIR: As much as we might all share those sentiments, they are not in order in a personal explanation. I am sure there will be many other opportunities for you to record them.
