MR SPEAKER: However, I withdraw that. I mean I was not.
SUSPENSION OF STANDING AND TEMPORARY ORDERS
Hour of Sitting and Routine of Business
MR HUMPHRIES (Minister for Health, Education and the Arts) (5.48): This is unusual, but I move:
That so much of the standing and temporary orders be suspended as would prevent Mr Humphries moving a motion to rescind the order of the Assembly earlier this day fixing the next day of meeting and moving a further motion on the same matter.
If I might explain my motion, there is a flaw in the earlier motion I moved. Unfortunately, the effect of the earlier motion I moved would be that after sitting on that Tuesday, the Assembly would then have to sit again the following day, Wednesday, in the normal sitting pattern when, of course, it is understood that we will be sitting on 24 April.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Motion (by Mr Humphries) agreed to:
That the Assembly, at its rising, adjourn until 10.30 am on Tuesday, 3 April 1990 and that:
(a) the first item of business be the Leader of the Opposition's response to the Chief Minister's Budget Strategy Statement; and
(b) at the conclusion of the reply, the debate shall be adjourned until the next day of sitting and then a Minister shall move a motion to fix the next day of sitting after which the Speaker shall then forthwith propose and put the question that the Assembly do now adjourn.
ADJOURNMENT
Debate resumed.
Assembly Business
MR HUMPHRIES (Minister for Health, Education and the Arts) (5.49): I wish to respond to a few points raised by Ms Follett. I see that she has left the chamber, but I will make them anyway. I always sit back open-mouthed and gape in amazement when Ms Follett says that she is concerned about the fact that we ask dorothy dixers.
