I want to thank both Mr Braddock and Mr Hanson for working with Ms Orr and for providing the list of ministers required for question time. I commend the motion to the chamber.

MR BRADDOCK (Yerrabi) (11.19): The Greens support the motion of the Manager of Government Business to suspend standing orders so that a number of practical, proportionate changes can be made that reflect the current public health challenges that face us.

As more people become fully vaccinated in the community—including the employees of this Assembly, political staffers and particularly our members—we, as an Assembly, will be able to return to normal operations as soon as possible. I therefore encourage everyone to get vaccinated, and that, as an Assembly, we also demonstrate leadership by all getting vaccinated as soon as possible.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
