Mr Stevenson: Is this a pre-emptory move on the count?

MADAM SPEAKER: You will leave the chamber.

Mr Stevenson: I am happy to leave the chamber because I have no respect whatsoever for this place.

MADAM SPEAKER: Order! You will leave the chamber.

Mr Stevenson thereupon withdrew from the chamber.

Mr Moore: May I have your attention, Madam Speaker? I believe that the vote was not called. I accept that you called the vote in the affirmative, but I believe that the numbers were not called at that stage, Madam Speaker.

MADAM SPEAKER: I think I muttered something, but I will try it again, Mr Moore.

Mr Connolly: You were being screamed at at the time. It was difficult for us to hear you.

MADAM SPEAKER: I was a little distracted.

Mr Westende: A few votes were not called.

MADAM SPEAKER: I am terribly sorry; we did not even finish the vote. I just took it that it had been resolved in the affirmative. Clerk, would you please continue the vote.
