The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Deputy Premier, Minister for Energy and Mining) (11:01): I move:

That standing orders be so far suspended today to enable ministers and members to speak and conduct business from any seat within the chamber and the Speaker's gallery and that members of the Legislative Council be prohibited from admission to the Speaker's gallery.

The SPEAKER: An absolute majority is required. An absolute majority is present and I accept the motion; is it seconded?

Honourable members: Yes, sir.

The SPEAKER: I put the question at once.

Motion carried.
