Mr Humphries Ms Follett

Mr Moore Mr Lamont
Mr Stevenson Ms McRae
Ms Szuty Mr Wood
Mr Westende

Question so resolved in the affirmative.

MADAM SPEAKER: The question before us now is: That Mrs Carnell's amendment be agreed to. Those of that opinion say aye, of the contrary no. The ayes have it.

Mr Berry: The noes have it.

MADAM SPEAKER: Lock the doors.

Mr Moore: I take a point of order, Madam Speaker. I draw your attention to the fact that only one member has called for the noes.

MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Moore, I am aware of that, but I believe that when it is called by either the leader of Government business or the leader of the Opposition's business it indicates more than one voice. If members wish to dispute that, we will go into discussion on that in the Administration and Procedures Committee.

Mr Moore: When did you change the standing order?

MADAM SPEAKER: My understanding of that standing order is that that is the application of it.
