sought on other matters, on other occasions, are that it is given. I would see that there would be no difference on this occasion when this standing order comes in.

Mr Humphries: Not by your lot.

Mr Kaine: Your lot never give leave for anything.

Mr Humphries: What about Dennis Stevenson the other day?

Mr Kaine: Don't you like interjections?

MR LAMONT: If they were intelligent it would be different.

MADAM SPEAKER: Order! Members, I draw your attention to standing order 39. Mr Lamont will proceed.

MR LAMONT: Madam Speaker, not only does the proposed new standing order allow for an extension by 30 minutes over the 45 minutes that Mr Cornwell harped upon, the standing orders also provide for a plethora of Bills. I might add, Madam Speaker, that in these last two weeks there have been 12 Bills introduced by this Government.

Mr Moore: Hardly a plethora.

MR LAMONT: More, at times, than were implemented by these people over here in the Alliance Government. Sometimes it took them up to three months to do that, but they did have some difficulties in their own ranks.

Members interjected.

Motion (by Mr Humphries) put:

That the debate be now adjourned.

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

MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Stevenson has let it be known that he will not be in the Assembly this morning; so we can lock the doors and proceed with the vote.
