Personal Explanation

INDEPENDENT COMMISSIONER AGAINST CORRUPTION BILL

Mrs GERAGHTY (Torrens) (17:46): By way of personal explanation, during a division on the Independent Commissioner Against Corruption Bill, a division on amendment No. 3, something that does happen occasionally but not often in the pair arrangements that are agreed to between the parties, minister Hill was not recorded as an agreed pair. I just want to clarify that matter. I guess it comes down to the fact that he was actually here in his absence, if that makes it clearer, or not.

The Hon. J.R. Rau: You thought he was here but he wasn't?

Mrs GERAGHTY: Yes; but there was just a slight oversight.

Mrs REDMOND: I will need to check with our whip but I have a feeling that we realised he was a pair and kept the Hon. Iain Evans out.

Mrs GERAGHTY: I have spoken to Steven. There were three agreed pairs and in the confusion only two were covered, so I am just clarifying that minister Hill was agreed to. Those things happen. It is nothing terrible.

At 17:48 the house adjourned until Tuesday 30 October 2012 at 11:00.
