MR DOSZPOT: Scrutiny report 45 contains the committee’s comments on 16 bills, one piece of subordinate legislation and six government responses. It also includes comment on the proposed government amendment to the Justice and Community Safety Legislation Amendment Bill 2016. The report was circulated to members when the Assembly was not sitting. I commend the report to the Assembly.

That, notwithstanding the provisions of standing order 16, Ms Burch be discharged from the Standing Committee on Administration and Procedure for its meeting on 7 June 2016 and that Mr Hinder be appointed in her place.

Standing and temporary orders—suspension

Motion (by Mr Gentleman) agreed to, with the concurrence of an absolute majority:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent:
