Question resolved in the affirmative.

Standing and temporary 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 order of the day No 7, Assembly business—Report of the Select Committee on Estimates 2011-2012 and the Government response to the Select Committee on Estimates, to be called on and debated cognately with order of the day No 3, Executive business—Appropriation Bill 2011-2012.

Appropriation Bill 2011-2012

[Cognate paper:

Estimates 2011-2012—Select Committee report—government response]

MR SMYTH (Brindabella) (4.40): And so the debate begins in proper for the budget for the 2011-2012 year. The Treasurer has circulated some amendments to the schedule.
