Parliamentary Procedure

Sittings and Business

Mr BROWN (Playford) (11:52): I move:

That Private Members Business, Bills, have priority over Private Members Business, Other Motions, until 12.30pm.

Motion carried.

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Deputy Premier, Minister for Energy and Mining) (11:53): I move:

That the time for Private Members Business, Bills, be returned to finish at noon.

I understand there is agreement by the members involved in this next piece of business on how to manage it in that amount of time.

The ACTING SPEAKER (Mr Pederick): The house has indicated that it will go until 12.30pm. There are a couple of ways forward. One is that there is an attempt to rescind that or we can postpone all those and go straight through to Private Members Business, Other Motions.

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: I move:

That we rescind the motion to extend to 12.30pm.

My understanding is that there is a collegial agreement that until 12 noon will be enough.

The ACTING SPEAKER (Mr Pederick): There needs to be a movement of suspension of standing orders to rescind a motion of the house.

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: Okay. I withdraw my motion because that would mean that we do not have enough time.
