The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: Mr President, I am pleased that the media are here to witness this. Perhaps the Leader of the Opposition might understand that—
The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: I have a point of order, Mr President. Under what standing order is the minister standing up and making a statement?
The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: Perhaps we can discuss this one, Mr President. Perhaps I will just let it go through; after all, this is another bill that has been on the Notice Paper since October last year that the opposition has refused to debate.
Members interjecting:
The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: You refused to debate it; so, come on, bring it on. Let the world see what you are like.
Members interjecting:
The PRESIDENT: Order!
