MR JENSEN: I move:
Clause 1(a), omit "5.30", substitute "6"; clause 1(b), omit "6", substitute "7".
Mr Berry: The count comes after 7. That means that we conclude about 7.30. It has to be 6.30, Norm.
Motion (by Mr Collaery) agreed to:
That the question be now put.
Mr Kaine: Can we be clear what his amendment is?
MR SPEAKER: Yes. The question is that in clause 1(a) we omit "5.30" and substitute "6"; and in clause 1(b) we omit "6" and insert "7". In fact, Mr Jensen, those two times are mentioned in clause 2 as well. Would you take account of that when you write the amendment out.
Mr Berry: What about 6.30, Norm? You will lose it if you do not go for 6.30, I am telling you.
Mr Jensen: What is wrong with 7?
Mr Kaine: Some of us have other commitments that we have entered into.
Mr Berry: If you go for 7 you will lose; that is what is wrong with it.
Mr Jensen: We all have commitments.
Mr Wood: Well, 6.30 you can have.
Mr Berry: You have no choice.
MR SPEAKER: Mr Jensen, are you prepared to withdraw your amendment and move an amended one?
Mr Jensen: Yes, Mr Speaker.
MR SPEAKER: Thank you. Will you just rephrase your amendment to omit "5.30" wherever occurring and insert "6", and, where "6" occurs, insert "6.30", because the times appear in clause 1 and in clause 2.
Amendments (by Mr Jensen) agreed to:
Omit "5.30" wherever occurring, substitute "6"; Omit "6" wherever occurring, substitute "6.30".
Motion, as amended, agreed to.
