Suspension of Standing Orders
Motion (by Ms Tucker) proposed:
That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent further consideration of the Gaming Machine (Amendment) Bill (No. 2) 1998 (introduced earlier this day) as a private members business order of the day and further consideration of that order of the day being called on forthwith.
MR MOORE (Minister for Health and Community Care) (12.26 am): Mr Speaker, I am appalled; I am shocked; I am disgusted that Ms Tucker, of all people, should move for the suspension of standing orders in this way. We have had this piece of legislation since this morning, although it was foreshadowed when the committee reported yesterday. Ms Tucker has, time and again, since she was first elected to this Assembly - and I am talking about the previous Assembly, so I should say "since she was elected as a member of parliament" - has come to us and said, "No; you cannot rush something through. What about the community consultation? What about giving an opportunity for comment?". But when she has an issue that she thinks is important because it might bring about some change in the interim, what happens then? All those ideas go out the window.
