Time unknown

I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. I seek leave under Standing Order 343 to give a personal statement to clarify an answer I gave to a supplementary question on Question No. 8 today regarding the Ruapehu lahar.

The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Clem Simich): Leave has been sought for that course of action. Is there any objection?

πŸ’¬ Hon Ken Shirley: I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. I just want a point of clarification. This is the second one in half an hour. Could we have an indication of how many more are coming today?

The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Clem Simich): No, it is quite clear. Leave has been sought. We are aware of whom it is coming from and of the nature of it. Is there any objection? There appears to be none.

Today I said that the Government is taking every step it possibly can to avoid what is a natural phenomenon. I would like to clarify that I intended to say that the Government is taking every step it possibly can to avoid harm from what is a natural phenomenon.
