VOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA BILL

The Hon. T.R. KENYON (Newland—Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for Recreation and Sport) (15:19): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! I cannot hear the minister. Please leave the chamber or listen.

The Hon. T.R. KENYON: Earlier today there was a vote on euthanasia. I did not vote on that bill. I had a pair until 12.30 and was not aware that there was a conscience vote taking place. Had I been aware I would have voted and I would have voted against the bill.

The SPEAKER: Thank you, minister.
