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.
