ADOPTION (CONSENT TO PUBLICATION) AMENDMENT BILL

Second Reading

Adjourned debate on second reading.

(Continued from 21 February 2013.)

Mrs GERAGHTY (Torrens) (19:53): I move:

That the debate be adjourned.

The SPEAKER: It is moved that the debate on order of the day No. 3 be adjourned. Is that seconded?

An honourable member: Yes, sir.

The SPEAKER: I will put it at once.

Ms Bedford: Don't you have to put it at once, anyway?

The SPEAKER: I will consult the Clerk about the member for Florey's point. I say 'I will put it at once' because there have been times when we have had debates in here about adjourning things and it has gone back and forth and ended in a division, so I am giving due notice to members with this small remark that the motion for the adjournment and the date that it is to be adjourned is coming on for a vote, if you want to have a Donnybrook about it—as we have (that is Irish for a fight. Does that answer the member for Florey's query?

Ms BEDFORD: Well, I will be interested now, sir, to notice that becoming the norm in our chambers all over Australia.

The SPEAKER: Glad to be a leader.

Debate adjourned on motion of Mrs Geraghty.
