The SPEAKER: While the votes are being tallied, I want to remind members about standing order 172, 'Doors locked after three minutes':

The doors are closed and locked as soon after the lapse of three minutes as the Speaker directs. No Member may then enter or leave the Chamber until after the division.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for West Torrens, member for Lee and the Deputy Premier, please!

There being 23 ayes and 20 noes, with a majority of three for the ayes, the ayes have it.

Motion thus carried; order of the day postponed.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Point of clarification, sir.

The SPEAKER: There is a point of clarification from the member for West Torrens.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: On your recent ruling, Mr Speaker, on leaving the chamber during the division bills ringing, the Speaker informed the opposition that if members called for a quorum and left the building you would name those members. Does that apply only to the opposition, or does it apply equally across the chamber?

The SPEAKER: I did make a similar statement. I do not have the exact wording I used, but I can inform the house that I did inquire as to why a certain minister left after the beginning of the ringing of the bills. I note that he was here for the vote and that he went to the bathroom.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!
