Question put:

That the motion (Mr Humphries') be agreed to.

The bells being rung -

MR SPEAKER: Members, I have received advice that Mr Stevenson is not coming down.

The Assembly voted -

AYES, 11  NOES, 5 

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

Question so resolved in the affirmative.

Mr Humphries: I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. Standing order 154 requires that members shall vote in accordance with their voices and their votes shall be so recorded. Ms Follett did vote Aye on the call of voices.

Ms Follett: Don't be silly! I did not call for the vote.

Mr Humphries: It does not matter whether you called for the vote or not.

MR SPEAKER: Mr Humphries, I think you are misinterpreting that. She did not call for the vote. The person who calls for the vote shall vote in accordance with their voice.

Mr Humphries: Okay. It does not say "who calls for the vote". It says:

Members shall vote in accordance with their voices ...

Report

MR HUMPHRIES (7.13): I table the report of the Select Committee on Hospital Bed Numbers. I hope that I have leave also to table the minutes of meetings of that committee.
