BURNSIDE COUNCIL

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14:47): I have another supplementary question arising out of the minister's original answer. Why is the minister refusing to answer the question as to when he advised his own Premier, his own Attorney-General, his cabinet colleagues, of his decision, or did they find out—

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: Point of order, Mr President.

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Mr Hunter.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: This question does not arise from an original answer; it is a direct repeat of his supplementary question and is out of order.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Mr Hunter.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: Thank you, Mr President. The question that is being asked by the Hon. Mr Lucas in the supplementary is a repeat of his previous question—

The PRESIDENT: No, do you have a question?

Members interjecting:

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: —and does not rise from the original answer. It is not a supplementary question.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: You have the call.
