Mr Kaine: I seek a clarification. If we allow this motion to pass and Mr Moore speaks, does he then have the right to speak again when the debate resumes, or does he give himself the opportunity to speak twice on the same subject? If the answer to that question is yes, I submit that he is out of order. He is trying to circumvent the standing orders.
Mr Whalan: On a point of order in relation to the same point made by the Leader of the Opposition; precisely the same situation will arise in relation to Mr Moore's motion which was moved earlier today, because already there have been several speakers in relation to that environmental motion and there have been indications that there will be amendments moved to the motion. That will enable the whole debate to be reopened. It is exactly the same situation and no-one is going to deny those speakers that right.
Mr Kaine: It is not quite the same. I submit that that is dissembling, Mr Speaker. It is not the same situation at all.
