Personal Explanation

Members Pairing

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Stephen's wants to make a contribution, can he do that?

The Hon. T.A. Franks: He already has.

The PRESIDENT: He wants to make an explanation.

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (17:51): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

The PRESIDENT: I would love to hear it.

Leave granted.

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS: Given that it is the Hon. Gerry Kandelaars' last day, I suspect he might have been a little bit emotional because he very cleverly, and probably without doing anything underhand, has the Hon. Andrew McLachlan pairing out with him, by written pair, even though I had agreed to pairing him out of respect. To be fair, I do not think we will double dip, so I will participate in the vote.
