No. Mr C.J. Barnett: You have just tabled it! You have so many dodgy figures that you don’t know what to refer to! The SPEAKER: It is disorderly for members to speak while I am on my feet and a major conversation was just taking place. I think it would have been more appropriate for the member to have asked that supplementary question yesterday. I am sure he will get an opportunity to ask that question again.
