Department of the Legislative Assembly, Northern Territory Government

Ms LAWRIE - 2013-03-26

Immediately after your coup, while Terry Mills was still in Japan, you said Terry Mills was a friend. With mates like you who needs enemies? Your knifing, cowardly and despicable actions …

Mr ELFERINK: A point of order, Madam Speaker! Standing Order 112(2)(d) imputations, (e) epithets, and (f) ironical expressions are all breaches of the standing orders.

Madam SPEAKER: Opposition Leader, if you could get to the point of your question please without any imputations, epithets or ironical expressions.

Ms LAWRIE: Well, then, Madam Speaker, I move that so much of Standing Orders be suspended as would prevent this House from censuring the member for Braitling, the now Chief Minister, for his cowardly knifing of the former Chief Minister, Terry Mills, while he was overseas representing the Territory.
