Mr Speaker, I present the following paper:
1989-90 Budget - Initial Statement - Ministerial statement, 25 July 1989, together with appendices.
I move:
That the Assembly takes note of the paper.
Mr Kaine: Mr Speaker, in the interests of an informed debate I move:
That the debate be now adjourned.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
ESTABLISHMENT OF A CASINO
Statement and Paper
MR HUMPHRIES, by leave: I present a paper supporting the establishment of a casino on section 19 in Civic. I thank the house for the leave it has given me. This paper is a petition which does not comply with the terms of the standing orders; therefore it has been necessary for me to present it as a paper. It has been signed by 199 petitioners - - -
Dr Kinloch: I rise on a point of order, Mr Speaker. We had petition time, I believe, earlier in the session.
MR SPEAKER: You are out order, Dr Kinloch. Leave has been granted.
Dr Kinloch: Mr Speaker, could I ask you to spell out for me why this is allowed at this time?
MR SPEAKER: We can debate that later, if you do not mind, Dr Kinloch. The position is that Mr Humphries has been granted leave.
Dr Kinloch: I rise on a point of order. Mr Humphries asked for leave to make a statement or present a paper. We did not know the nature of it, and I wish now to say, "No, I do not grant him leave".
MR SPEAKER: I overrule your objection. I take your point, however. Proceed, Mr Humphries.
MR HUMPHRIES: Thank you, Mr Speaker. I will speak very briefly to this.
Mr Moore: I rise on a point of order, Mr Speaker. He had leave to present a paper, not to present a petition.
MR SPEAKER: This is in the form of a paper. Please proceed, Mr Humphries.
