MR SPEAKER: Order, members! The time for debate on the motion that the standing and temporary orders be suspended has now come to a close, and I am obliged to put the question:
That so much of standing and temporary orders be suspended as would prevent order of the day No. 10, private Members' business being called on forthwith.
The Assembly voted -
AYES, 7 NOES, 6
Mr Berry Mr Collaery
Mr Connolly Mr Jensen
Ms Follett Mr Kaine
Mrs Grassby Ms Maher
Mr Moore Mr Prowse
Mr Stevenson Mr Stefaniak
Mr Wood
Question so resolved in the negative.
MR SPEAKER: The reason the question is resolved in the negative is found under standing order 272, which reads:
In cases of necessity, any standing order or orders of the Assembly may be suspended on motion, duly moved, without notice: Provided that such motion is carried by an absolute majority of Members.
It was not carried by an absolute majority of members.
The time for the debate on the adjournment has expired.
