Sessional Orders

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (18:24): Without notice, I move:

That standing orders be so far suspended as to enable me to move a motion for the adoption of sessional orders relating to answers to questions and eligible petitions.

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: We will need an absolute majority for that. I am counting the house and there not being an absolute majority, I ask that we ring the bells.

An absolute majority of the whole number of members being present:

Motion carried.

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: Pursuant to order, I move:

That for the remainder of the session sessional orders be adopted so as to provide for answers to questions and eligibility of petitions as detailed in the draft sessional orders circulated to members.

Motion carried.
