overview of relevant modelling; we wanted the relevant modelling tabled. I commend the motion to the Assembly.
MR RATTENBURY (Molonglo) (10.18): Madam Speaker, I want to start this discussion by asking whether you would provide to the Assembly advice that you received from the Clerk, in response to Mr Smyth’s letter.
MADAM SPEAKER: You are asking me a question?
MR RATTENBURY: I am. It is probably a procedural question at this point, rather than the beginning of remarks.
MADAM SPEAKER: I am happy to provide a copy of that advice if the Assembly so wishes. I do not have a copy about me at the moment, but I can say that the Clerk explored the areas. He provided advice to me that he considered that the matter did not warrant precedence. I disagreed. He also suggested a number of alternative remedies. If someone from the Clerk’s office can provide a copy, I will be happy to table that advice.
MR RATTENBURY: Thank you, Madam Speaker. On that basis, I will move that the debate be adjourned until members are able to have a look at that letter.
Debate (on motion by Mr Rattenbury) adjourned to a later hour this day.
