Personal Explanation

mEMBER'S rEMARKS

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (16:06): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE: During question time I was ferociously attacked by minister Hunter. At best I was misrepresented and at worst I think the minister misled the house. I want to put it straight for the public record, because there were comments about what I had to say regarding the nonsensical proroguing of the parliament regarding the former premier—

The PRESIDENT: The honourable member can continue with his personal explanation without commentary or being political. You can continue.

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE: Thank you for your guidance, sir—Mr Rann. For the public record, what I actually said is:

This is the third prorogue under the leadership as Premier of Jay Weatherill; I don't believe Mike Rann did anything like this.
