Parliamentary Procedure

Members' Remarks

The PRESIDENT (16:14): A little while ago I made mention of the appalling behaviour of members during the Address in Reply. Hopefully members have reflected on their contribution. Two days have passed since the Hon. John Gazzola made a contribution to this council, so I will ask the Hon. Mr Gazzola: have you reflected on what you have said and do you want to withdraw?

The Hon. J.M. GAZZOLA (16:15): Thank you, sir, finally. I agree, Mr President. To assist you in maintaining the standards of the council and out of respect for the standing orders of this place and honourable members, I withdraw my use of unparliamentary language and reflecting on the Chair.
