House of Assembly Fifty-First Parliament, Third Session (51-3) 51 3 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Personal Explanation Personal Explanation Members' Remarks MEMBERS' REMARKS Mr WILLIAMS House of Assembly MacKillop Mr WILLIAMS (MacKillop) (13:00): I seek leave to make two personal explanations. Leave granted. Mr WILLIAMS House of Assembly Mr WILLIAMS: First, the member for Newland made comments about me and my candidacy at the 1997 election for the seat of MacKillop. If the member for Newland cared to do some research and read the printed material I circulated across the electorate at that time he will know that I firmly said that I was standing as an Independent Liberal, and would be supporting the Olsen Liberal government. So I reject his comments. My second personal explanation relates to the member for Enfield's comment that the esteemed member for Stuart was the only member on this side that did not support the legislation to get rid of the single desk. I can tell the house that at every turn I rejected that legislation, and at every turn argued for its retention, including voting against the legislation to support the single desk in South Australia—as, I believe, did the member for Schubert. [Sitting suspended from 13:02 to 14:00]
