MR SPEAKER: That the papers be noted.
Mr Whalan: Could I seek your guidance please, Mr Speaker?
MR SPEAKER: Certainly, Mr Whalan, at any time.
Mr Whalan: Is this a ruse or something? What are they up to?
Mr Collaery: Sit down.
Mr Whalan: Mr Collaery has just told you to sit down, Mr Speaker.
Mr Jensen: No, he has not. He told you to sit down. Do you want me to tell you as well?
MR SPEAKER: Order! I draw your attention, Mr Whalan, to standing order 214 which states that:
On any paper being presented to the Assembly as provided ... a Minister may move without notice ...
Therefore, for a member to so move would require leave of the Assembly to do so.
Mr Berry: I seek leave to move that the paper be noted.
Leave not granted.
Motion (by Mr Berry) proposed:
That so much of the standing and temporary orders be suspended as would prevent him moving that the Assembly take note of the paper.
MR SPEAKER: Before we call the vote, I will draw members' attention to the absence of Mr Whalan who is now in breach of standing order 155. I will request an explanation from him on his return. Call the vote.
Question put.
