Given the fact that this whole motion is honouring the presence of Mr Mandela in the city, I feel that the necessity for paragraph (5) could be handled in another motion. I will therefore move that paragraph (5), calling upon the ACT Government to make available appropriate work experience placements in the ACT Government agencies for black South Africans sponsored by the Australia-South Africa Training Trust, be deleted.
That is the summary of the amendments that the Government is proposing to make to the motion. As I said, we honour the man; we know he is a symbol of the struggle of not only the black people but all freedom loving people in South Africa against the oppressive and iniquitous apartheid system which has existed in that country since 1949.
MR SPEAKER: Before we proceed, I would like to take advice on the situation in which Mr Duby seeks to move five amendments. There is some debate as to whether he ought to move them one at a time. I put it to the assembled members that Mr Duby should seek the leave of the Assembly to move the number of amendments as a whole.
MR DUBY: I so seek leave, Mr Speaker.
Leave not granted.
Motion (by Mr Kaine) put:
That so much of standing and temporary orders be suspended as would prevent Mr Duby from moving the amendments together.
The Assembly voted -
AYES, 11 NOES, 6
Mr Collaery Mr Berry
Mr Duby Mr Connolly
Mr Humphries Ms Follett
Mr Jensen Mrs Grassby
Mr Kaine Mr Moore
Dr Kinloch Mr Wood
Ms Maher
Mrs Nolan
Mr Prowse
Mr Stefaniak
Mr Stevenson
Question so resolved in the affirmative.
MR SPEAKER: The question was that standing orders be suspended so that Mr Duby can move his amendments together. I now ask him to do so.
