Finnigan, Hon. B.V.

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (14:42): Further supplementary: given that the Premier said that you will not accept the Hon. Mr Finnigan's vote, can we take that as a given?

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: I think the minister has already made it quite clear that she has answered the question. The Hon. Mr Hood.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Will members allow the Hon. Mr Hood to ask his question?

The Hon. G.E. Gago interjecting:

The Hon. T.J. Stephens: You're a liar.

The PRESIDENT: Will you sit down, please, the Hon. Mr Hood? It is unparliamentary, the Hon. Mr Stephens, to call another member a liar, so please withdraw.

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS: I withdraw, Mr President.

The PRESIDENT: Thank you. The Hon. Mr Hood.
