AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question, and I request that it be placed on notice. Hon Tom Stephens: You’re a disgraceful Government! Hon N.F. MOORE: I have an answer to the other three questions asked of the Minister for Energy. Hon Peter Foss: Why not ask the other ones? Hon Tom Stephens: You’re a disgrace, the lot of you. Hon Peter Foss: So are you! Hon Tom Stephens: The people have had enough of you lot! The PRESIDENT: Order! The Leader of the Opposition seeks to hide behind the Chair when it suits him. I did not call him to order. He and the Leader of the House seem to think they have some special dispensation every time they do not agree. They have no special rights over any other member. I want to hear the answer so I can get another question from another member who wants to ask a question.
