Personal Explanation

SELECT COMMITTEE ON CERTAIN MATTERS RELATING TO HORSE RACING IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA

The Hon. B.V. FINNIGAN (15:04): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

The Hon. B.V. FINNIGAN: During debate yesterday on the motion to establish a select committee into certain matters pertaining to the racing industry, including the SAJC and the sale of Cheltenham racecourse, the Hon. Terry Stephens said:

I was pleased to hear the Hon. Bernard Finnigan let us know that, once the police investigation and the OCBA investigations are completed, the Hon. Michael Wright will table the Lipman Karas report.

Having checked the Hansard, it is clear that I gave no such undertaking, nor did I allude to such an undertaking in my contribution to the debate. I request that the Hon. Mr Stephens withdraw his falsehood.

The PRESIDENT: I am sure that the Hon. Mr Stephens will apologise for that mistake.
