Parliamentary Sitting Schedule

The Hon. S.G. WADE (15:24): Supplementary question: by what means was the advice given at 2.27pm, considering the Clerk's advice only arrived at 3.19pm?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:24): I thank the honourable member for his question, and I can understand why the honourable member thinks it is so important. The honourable member has to plan when he can escape to the Adelaide Club each day. He has to work out when it is time to go to and come back from the Adelaide Club. It is a very important part of his schedule. As The Advertiser revealed, he is a longstanding and proud member of the Adelaide Club.

The Hon. J.S. LEE: Point of order.

The PRESIDENT: Order! Everybody sit down. I will listen to the point of order, but question time has expired. What is your point of order?

The Hon. J.S. LEE: Point of order 193: the minister has used insulting language towards the honourable member.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: I withdraw, if the Hon. Jing Lee thinks the Adelaide Club is insulting.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The time for asking questions without notice has expired. I call on business of the day.
