Mr RIOLI - 1997-12-02
Is he aware that the following video titles are available here without having to go to New South Wales to look for them: Hot Cops, Debbie Does Wall Street, Confessions of a Chauffeur, The Verdict, Shore Leave, Military Issue and Men With Tools? Will he tell the truth about the reasons for his purchase or does he intend to continue with his ridiculous assertions that video titles such as these reflect what is occurring in the workplace?

When I highlighted that fact earlier today, the Leader of the Opposition quickly scribbled out a question and said: ‘Read this out, Maurice. Redeem yourself so that you can cover up the fact that you had a lend of the microwave and whatever else’. He should not forget his own morals.

Mr REED: I suppose he has a microwave oven of his own now in which they can heat up the soup when they want to sit down to watch the videos. They have a television of their own to watch them on.

Mr Lugg: Is there one called Hot Car Rollovers?
Mr REED: There may well be, starring Syd Stirling.
Madam SPEAKER: We are in good form today, aren’t we? All of us. That is enough. Let us get down to some serious questions and answers.
