The Honourable John Della Bosca, MLC: Iguanas Waterfront Restaurant Incident

Mr ANDREW STONER: My question is directed to the Premier. Given that the Hon. John Della Bosca has now misled the public at least three times—

[Interruption]

The SPEAKER: Order! Government members will come to order.

Mr ANDREW STONER: I like your National party tie, Bundy—looking good.

The SPEAKER: Order! Government members will come to order.

Mr ANDREW STONER: Given that John Della Bosca has now misled the public at least three times—when he withheld three statutory declarations, when he wrote Iguanas' apology and when he told the media it was "absolutely untrue" that Belinda Neal said "Don't you know who I am?"—when will the Premier apply the Scully standard of ministerial misconduct and sack him for making one mistake too many?

Mr MORRIS IEMMA: As I answered to the same question the Leader of The Nationals asked me yesterday—

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Hawkesbury will remove that item. I place the member for Hawkesbury on three calls to order.

Mr MORRIS IEMMA: The member for Hawkesbury has been given a leave pass from his cave.

The SPEAKER: Order! I direct the Serjeant-at-Arms to remove the member for Hawkesbury.

[The member for Hawkesbury left the Chamber, accompanied by the Serjeant-at-Arms.]

The SPEAKER: Order! Parliament is not a joke. Does any other member want to go with the member for Hawkesbury?

Mr MORRIS IEMMA: Certainly not where he is going: it is back to the cave for him. The Leader of The Nationals asked me the same question yesterday, and I give the same response. Inquiries having been initiated. The Leader of The Nationals will have to wait for them to conclude.
