There is this argument about consultation. Frankly, Deputy Chief Minister, I do not accept it. "Bulldozing" is not the word. I think this has just been a time-wasting ploy. I refuse to partake any further. As a matter of fact, Mr Deputy Speaker, I move:

That the question be now put.

Mr Whalan: I raise a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. I would just like to draw your attention to the fact that there may be others who wish to speak and, given that this is one of the most important pieces of legislation, in the words of Mr Prowse, to be brought before this chamber, then no-one should be denied the right to speak.

Mr Moore: I raise a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. The question, according to standing order 70, "that the question be now put", shall be put forthwith and determined without amendment or debate.

MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: I will put the question.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: The question now is that the Bill be referred to the Standing Committee on Social Policy.
