MR SPEAKER (Mr Berry) took the chair at 10.30 am, made a formal recognition that the Assembly was meeting on the lands of the traditional owners, and asked members to stand in silence and pray or reflect on their responsibilities to the people of the Australian Capital Territory.
Standing orders—suspension
Motion (by Mr Corbell) agreed to, with the concurrence of an absolute majority:
That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent:

(2) (a) questions without notice concluding at the time of interruption; or
(b) debate on any motion before the Assembly at the time of interruption being adjourned until the question “That debate on the Appropriation Bill 2007-2008 be adjourned and the resumption of the debate be made an order of the day for the next sitting” is agreed to;
(3) at 3.00 pm on Thursday, 7 June 2007, the Order of the Day for resumption of debate on the question that the Appropriation Bill 2007-2008 be agreed to in principle, being called on notwithstanding any business before the Assembly and that the time limit on the speech of the Leader of the Opposition and the ACT Greens be equivalent to the time taken by the Treasurer in moving the motion—That the bill be agreed to in principle; and
(4) (a) questions without notice concluding at the time of interruption; or
(b) debate on any motion before the Assembly at that time being adjourned until a later hour that day.
