MR SPEAKER: We have to allow the record to show what the motion is.

Mr Kaine: I do not see why we have to do that at all. The Government wants to get on with its business.

MR SPEAKER: Order!

MR BERRY: Why don't you swap places? Swap places with the Speaker.

Mr Kaine: I know what he is moving. I know what he intends to move. He has signalled his intention.

Mr Connolly: You are out of control.

Mr Kaine: He is out of control.

MR SPEAKER: Order!

MR BERRY: Thank you. I move:

That so much of the standing and temporary orders be suspended as would prevent Mr Berry from moving "That the Assembly censures the conservative Alliance Government -

that is you lot -

for its reprehensible abandonment of the ACT - - -

Mr Kaine: Mr Speaker, I move: That the motion now be put. It is quite clear what his motion is.

MR BERRY: No, you are not. I have not read it out.

MR SPEAKER: Please, Chief Minister. He has to be allowed to get his motion on the table.

MR BERRY: The motion continues:

"That the Assembly censures the conservative Alliance Government for its reprehensible abandonment of the ACT Assembly during the 29 November sitting. Furthermore the Assembly censures the Government and the Speaker for failing to maintain acceptable standards of behaviour in the chamber".

Now you can move your motion.

Motion (by Mr Kaine) agreed to:

That the question be now put.
