House of Assembly Fifty-First Parliament, Third Session (51-3) 51 3 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Parliamentary Procedure Parliamentary Procedure Standing Orders Suspension STANDING ORDERS SUSPENSION Mrs GERAGHTY House of Assembly Torrens Mrs GERAGHTY (Torrens) (10:31): I move: That standing orders be so far suspended as to enable Order of the Day No. 2 to be taken into consideration forthwith. The Hon. I.F. EVANS House of Assembly The Hon. I.F. EVANS: Sir, I rise on a point of order. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: A suspension is not required, that being what the member for Torrens is seeking to do. It can simply be done by a motion with a simple majority. However, I will take the point of order of the member for Davenport. The Hon. I.F. EVANS House of Assembly The Hon. I.F. EVANS: I understood that, for a change of order of private members' matters, we needed the agreement of all movers of private members' matters above the item. In other words, the members for Fisher, Stuart and Mitchell would need to be consulted about whether they are happy for that to occur. That has been the practice, I understand. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: That is the normal courtesy, and I would expect the member for Torrens to have done that. However, the order of business is in the hands of the house. The question is that Notices of Motion and Order of the Day No. 1 be postponed and taken into consideration after Order of the Day No. 2. The house divided on the motion: AYES (23) Bedford, F.E.
