MR COLLAERY: Mr Speaker, I move that the Assembly do now adjourn.
Mr Whalan: Mr Speaker, on a point of order; we were voting on the gag. Come on; here is a man trying to usurp control of this Assembly. We know that he has put together an unholy alliance and coalition, but Sir Robert has to come into the gallery to tell you, Mr Speaker. Sir Robert needs to come into the gallery. Sir Robert could be - - -
MR SPEAKER: Order! Deputy Chief Minister, please resume your seat. Mr Collaery obviously made a mistake, as you have done in the past.

MR WHALAN (Deputy Chief Minister) (4.46): Mr Speaker, I move that you call on order of the day No. 3.
MR SPEAKER: According to the suspension of standing orders that was voted on earlier, I must now go to Mr Collaery to move that the Assembly do now adjourn.
Mr Whalan: On a point of order, Mr Speaker; there was no suspension of standing orders moved earlier which prevents this Assembly from resuming debate on the business paper. What we have gone through is a process to set the date for the next day of hearing. That is all that we have done. There is notice that there is going to be a no-confidence motion. It in no way precludes my motion, which seeks you to call on order of the day No. 3. It is consistent with the standing orders.
MR SPEAKER: Thank you, Deputy Chief Minister. I will take advice on that.
I draw your attention to the motion that was passed around, Deputy Chief Minister. The motion was to fix the next day of sitting and that the house do now adjourn. That was the motion that was voted on. So we will now go to Mr Collaery.
