          <by role="member" id="4342">The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Deputy Premier, Minister for Energy and Mining) (11:02):</by>  Because of the health advice that went out last night suggesting that parliament does not sit this morning, and understanding that in the last short while advice has been received saying that parliament can now sit, including this afternoon, many MPs would not be available to sit right now because they were following the first set of health advice.</text>
        <text id="20211202e0103886f66d442c80000008">I am reliably informed that it will not be possible for the house to make up a quorum at this point in time. So, Mr Speaker, I recommend that you reconvene the house at 2pm today, when I do believe we will be able to make up a quorum of this house. This is an agreement that the Leader of Opposition Business and I have reached.</text>
