Parliamentary Procedure

Standing Orders Suspension

Mr CREGAN (Kavel) (11:13): I move:

That standing orders be so far suspended as to enable me to table a series of documents as a private member of this place.

You know of course, Mr Speaker, that private members do not otherwise have that right, which is a great frustration to me.

The SPEAKER: An absolute majority is present. I accept the motion. Does the member for Kavel wish to speak on the suspension?

Mr CREGAN: No, sir.

Motion carried.

Mr CREGAN: I table a bundle of documents in relation to a matter of concern.
