Personal Explanation

MEMBER'S REMARKS

Mrs GERAGHTY (Torrens) (12:42): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

Mrs GERAGHTY: I just want to clarify that we understand that the comment that the member for MacKillop made, that is, he agrees with me that the situation at the Keith hospital is outrageous, or something—I did not say that. I do not agree with that, and I do not know where he got it from.

Mr WILLIAMS: Point of order: a personal explanation is not an opportunity for a member to enter into a debate, which is what the member just did.

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: No, she didn't.

Mr WILLIAMS: And I have already apologised to the member for Torrens and said to whoever it was that uttered the word 'outrageous' that I agree with them. It is outrageous.

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Member for MacKillop, take your seat. I think the comment about the word 'outrageous' is the allegation you are making.
