The Hon. John Della Bosca, MLC: Iguanas Waterfront Restaurant Incident

Mr ANDREW STONER: My question is directed to the Premier. Did the Premier's chief of staff, Josh Murray, or any other of his staff members have a role in procuring four statutory declarations from John Della Bosca and Belinda Neal's dinner companions about the night at Iguana Joe's?

The SPEAKER: Order! Government members will come to order. I call the Minister for Small Business to order.

Mr MORRIS IEMMA: I refer the Leader of The Nationals to my previous answer. If I wanted to detain the House I could go through the three pages of conflicting statements by Mr Spence and the member for Terrigal.

Mr Andrew Stoner: Point of order: My point of order is on relevance. The question pertains to matters outside the police investigation: the statutory declarations defending John Della Bosca and Belinda Neal.

The SPEAKER: Order! The Leader of The Nationals will resume his seat.

[Interruption]

The SPEAKER: Order! I call the Leader of The Nationals to order.

Mr MORRIS IEMMA: I will refer to one: the member for Terrigal said, "Chris Spence tried to ring me. Finally I got a message to ring him and I rang and he was already there." In another account, on Monday 10 June 2008, he said, "I wasn't there." Chris Hartcher was not there. He found out about it the following day. And so the inconsistencies went on for the rest of the week.
