MR SPEAKER: I would like to acknowledge the presence in the gallery of students from Duffy Primary School who are doing the Federal and local government course. Welcome to your Assembly.

Debate resumed from 20 February 1997, on motion by Mr Humphries:

That the report be noted.

MRS CARNELL (Chief Minister) (11.54): Mr Speaker, I would like to table the Government's response to the report of the Standing Committee on Administration and Procedure on standing order 207. The response has already been provided to the chair of the standing committee and all Assembly members out of session. As members are aware, standing order 207 allows the Speaker to suspend any sitting of the Legislative Assembly in the event of grave disorder. This matter was referred to the standing committee in February 1996 following two suspensions as a result of disruptions by observers in the gallery. Members were concerned at the time about the extent to which the standing order applies to disruptions or disorderly conduct in the gallery.
