Mr Collaery: On a point of order, Mr Speaker: I seek leave, under standing order 166, to have my vote accurately recorded. I did not vote from my position in the house. I was not immediately aware of what I was being called to say. I always answer "no" when I am not ready.

MR SPEAKER: It will be done, Mr Collaery. It will be accurately recorded.

Mr Collaery: My vote is yes.

MR SPEAKER: As Mr Collaery called for the vote, he must vote the way he called it.

Mr Duby: But he was not at his desk.

MR SPEAKER: No, originally. He called for a vote to be taken. I do not think there is any necessity to call a vote again. The situation is that Mr Collaery called for the vote to be taken and under standing orders he must be recorded under that vote.

The Assembly voted -

AYES, 6  NOES, 11 

Mr Collaery Mr Berry
Mr Duby Mr Connolly
Mr Jensen Ms Follett
Dr Kinloch Mrs Grassby
Ms Maher Mr Humphries
Mr Stevenson Mr Kaine
 Mr Moore
 Mrs Nolan
 Mr Prowse
 Mr Stefaniak
 Mr Wood

Question so resolved in the negative.

SUSPENSION OF STANDING AND TEMPORARY ORDERS

MR COLLAERY (3.19): Mr Speaker, I move:

That so much of the standing and temporary orders be suspended as would prevent Mr Stevenson from:

(1) tabling documents relating to his allegations that persons, including politicians, are involved in organised crime and the x-rated video industry; and

(2) speaking for no more than 15 minutes on those documents.

Mr Moore: Standing order 59, Mr Speaker - - -
