reference date? The first part of the motion tends to define the problem. Perhaps then it would be up to the Government to solve the problem. So I would ask that paragraph (3) be changed to a longer period, perhaps the last sitting day of this year. Perhaps it would be appropriate that I move as an amendment:

That paragraphs (2) and (3) be omitted.

MR SPEAKER: The question is that the amendment, as proposed by Mrs Nolan, be agreed to. Those of that opinion say aye, to the contrary no. I think the noes have it.

Mr Kaine: I request a call of the house, Mr Speaker.

Ms Follett: Mr Speaker, could we please be very clear on what the amendment is.

MR SPEAKER: It is that paragraphs (2) and (3) be omitted.

Mr Whalan: Perhaps you could put them separately. The omission of paragraph (3) is all right; we can do something on that.

MR SPEAKER: Is it the wish of the Assembly to take these amendments one at a time? There being no objection, the question is:

That paragraph (2) be omitted.

Question resolved in the negative.

MR SPEAKER: The question now is:

That paragraph (3) be omitted.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Motion, as amended, agreed to.

ADJOURNMENT

Motion (by Mr Whalan) proposed:

That the Assembly do now adjourn.

Personal Explanation

MR COLLAERY: Mr Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.

MR SPEAKER: Do you claim to have been misrepresented, Mr Collaery?
