Legislative Council Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Personal Explanation Personal Explanation Jumps Racing Jumps Racing The Hon. K.L. VINCENT Legislative Council The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (16:03): I seek leave to make a personal explanation. Leave granted. The Hon. K.L. VINCENT Legislative Council The Hon. K.L. VINCENT: I would just like to put on the record, because I fear that what has just happened will insinuate that there was something untoward about me being a member of the committee. As far as I am concerned, that is not the case. I was approached to be a member of the committee, as is part of my duties as a member of this place, and I agreed to carry out those duties. As far as I am concerned, that is the end of the matter. Given that the people that have supported my being kicked off that committee are the same people that have allowed an amendment to this motion that will not even allow for a debate about jumps racing—again, I remind this chamber that the wording was 'whether' it should be banned, not 'that' it should be banned. So, before we go blaming people for pushing particular ideologies, why don't we actually allow a debate to occur. I just want to put on the record that there was nothing untoward about my membership of this committee, but I accept the will of the council. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: I think we are all quite aware of that; it was absolutely no reflection on the Hon. Ms Vincent.
