DIVISION VOTE

The Hon. R.J. McEWEN (Mount Gambier—Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development) (15:29): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

The Hon. R.J. McEWEN: On page 719 Hansard records the vote yesterday afternoon as being 25 ayes and 12 noes. I was in the chamber and I voted as a no. My name is not recorded in the vote. I ask, Mr Speaker, that you have that matter rectified.

The SPEAKER: I think the member for Newland wants to speak on the same matter. The member for Newland.

Mr KENYON (Newland) (15:30): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

Mr KENYON: As the teller at the time, I acknowledge that the error was mine, and I apologise to the minister.

The SPEAKER: I am satisfied that the minister was present in the chamber at the time of the division. I make the point that the addition of the minister to the noes does not alter the result. Nonetheless, I will order that the records be amended to reflect the vote of the minister for the noes.
