Mr Kaine: You cannot speak and then also seek to have it adjourned.
Mr Moore: Yes, you can. It is by leave; if we give him leave to do it, he can do it.
Mr Collaery: No, he has not adjourned the Bill. He is continuing his remarks.
Mr Kaine: But they are the concluding remarks to the debate. When you have finished speaking, that is the end of it. We are not going to open a new debate on it.
MR SPEAKER: Order!
Ms Follett: I think it is up to the Speaker.
Mr Kaine: You are closing the debate on your Bill.
Mr Moore: That is the in-principle stage.
Mr Connolly: It is still on the table; we are taking up your offer.
MR SPEAKER: I take it that it is the wish of the Assembly that debate on this issue be adjourned at this stage?
Mr Berry: No, we sought leave.
Ms Follett: For the moment, yes.
MR SPEAKER: At this stage, Mr Berry, I have to conclude the debate.
Mr Collaery: Mr Connolly sought leave to continue his remarks at a later date.
MR SPEAKER: That is right; but I now see that nobody else wishes to speak - that is the situation that we are in - unless the debate is adjourned.
Mr Collaery: Let the record show, Mr Speaker, that the initiative has come from the Opposition.
Debate adjourned.
