Personal Explanation

Sheep and Goat Electronic Identification

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:30): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI: The minister has put words into my mouth. I said that we supported traceability of the sheep and goat industry.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI: I ask that the minister withdraw her comments.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! Minister, you have been invited to withdraw your remarks.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:31): I think if Hansard is checked my words were, 'If they don't support EID they should say so.' I don't see how that can be interpreted as putting words in, so I will not be withdrawing.
