Standing Orders Suspension

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Minister for Energy and Mining) (16:00): I move without notice:

That standing orders and sessional orders be and remain so far suspended as to enable Dr Roger Hunt, palliative medicine specialist, to be seated in a chair on the floor of the house adjacent to the seat assigned to the Leader of the Opposition for the purpose to advise the member for Port Adelaide during the committee stage of the consideration of the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill.

The ACTING SPEAKER (Mr Cowdrey): An absolute majority not being present, ring the bells.

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

Motion carried.
