MR COLLAERY (Attorney-General) (11.33): I rise to conclude this debate. Mr Speaker, I wish the record to show that in the - - -
Mr Berry: Point of order, Mr Speaker; the time for the debate has well expired.
MR SPEAKER: The time for the debate has expired; your point is accepted, Mr Berry. You can move for an extension if you want it.
Mr Kaine : Mr Speaker, I move an extension of 10 minutes in the adjournment debate.
MR SPEAKER: You will have to move a motion. You will have to suspend standing orders and move a motion.
Mr Berry: Mr Speaker, with the greatest respect, there is a limit to which you can stretch the standing orders. The time has long expired. My understanding of these sorts of things is that one has to move for a suspension of standing orders whilst time continues for the debate. I think it is well out of order, and I think it would not be in the best interests of yourself or this Assembly if you accept these sorts of motions outside of the time.
Mr Kaine: Mr Speaker, I seek we move the suspension of so much of standing orders as would prevent Mr Collaery making his final statement in this debate.
Members interjected.
MR SPEAKER: I will take advice on this matter.
Members interjected.
MR SPEAKER: Order! I take the position that the time for debate has expired.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Assembly adjourned at 11.36 pm
