Personal Explanation

Member's Remarks

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government) (11:25): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Leave granted.

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: Thank you. I appreciate the opposition's agreement to leave, and I indicate as follows: today, the member for Light asserted quite clearly that in contributions by me—there have been others as well, but I will speak for myself—there had been an admission in the presentation by the speaker—that is, me—that there had been a watering down proposal. I utterly reject that. I did not say that. I am offended by it. Others can speak for themselves, but I place on the record that I utterly reject that. I did not say that.

The SPEAKER: Order!
