Mr Berry: We have not got to that point, Mr Deputy Speaker, have we? It seems to me that there may be further speakers on the matter. I think we have to exhaust the list of speakers before we get to the point of dealing with the questions.

MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: We can keep debating your amendment, Mr Berry; but we cannot do Ms Maher's until we get rid of yours, one way or the other.

Mr Berry: We are still debating the substantive motion, as I understand it.

MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: We are debating both of them, your amendment and the substantive motion.

Mr Berry: It strikes me, therefore, that we do not go to the questions until debate is concluded.

Motion (by Mr Kaine) agreed to:

That the question be now put.

Question put:

That the amendment (Mr Berry's) be agreed to.

A vote having been called for and the bells being rung -

Mr Prowse: Mr Deputy Speaker, I would like to advise the house that Mrs Nolan has apologised for not being able to attend today. She has been called to Sydney on urgent business.

MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: Thank you, Mr Prowse. That is noted.
