MR SPEAKER: Order! Dr Kinloch, I request you to resume your seat. Under the circumstances I would ask you: Were you present when the call commenced?

Dr Kinloch: At the time the call commenced, I was making an act of discrimination to try to decide whether I would play the word game. I am happy - - -

MR SPEAKER: Order! Resume your seat. Under the circumstances there has been a breach of standing orders, and I would ask the Clerk to re-call the Assembly.

The Assembly voted -

AYES, 9  NOES, 7 

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

Question so resolved in the affirmative.

Amendment (Mr Stefaniak's), as amended, negatived.

MR SPEAKER: The question now is: That the clause be agreed to.

Mr Jensen: Hang on! You said that the noes had it.

MR SPEAKER: The amendment, as amended, was negatived, which means that you go back to the original question.

Mr Moore: No amendment has been successful, so we are back to the original name now?

MR SPEAKER: That is right.

Mr Stefaniak: Mr Connolly's amendment was successful.

Mr Connolly: As I said, although I moved that amendment, we preferred to keep the original title. You were not paying attention. There is now no amendment before the house, so we have the original title.

Mr Humphries: Mr Speaker, I think that under standing orders there was some confusion about the vote.
