Child Sex Offenders Registration (Control Orders and Other Measures) Amendment Bill

Assent

His Excellency the Administrator assented to the bill.

Mr WILLIAMS: Mr Speaker, some of my colleagues and I are somewhat confused—

The Hon. P. Caica: It's not the first time, Mitch.

Mr WILLIAMS: At least I'm man enough to admit it. I am somewhat confused as to what might have happened to our Governor and somewhat confused that the state seems to have gone into administration—not surprised, sir, but confused.

The SPEAKER: In the way of the Donetsk People's Republic, the situation is that our Governor is very much in place but he is acting as the Governor-General. Therefore, the Lieutenant Governor becomes the Administrator, so the message was from the person otherwise known as the Lieutenant Governor. It is not from, I think, the Chief Justice, who sometimes acts as the administrator. Does that clear it up?

Mr WILLIAMS: Thank you, sir. We thought we were one step away from receivership.

The SPEAKER: For a lack of wit, I call the member for MacKillop to order.
