Suspension of Standing Orders

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Energy and Mining) (17:55): I move, without notice:

That standing orders be and remain so far suspended as to enable me to move a motion for the adoption of sessional orders relating to eligible petitions, leave of absence and no stranger admitted to the body of the house.

The SPEAKER: I have counted the house and, there being present an absolute majority of the whole number of members of the house, I accept the motion.

Mr J.B. TEAGUE (Heysen) (17:55): Apart from the meritorious subject matter of the motion, I will move an amendment in due course.

The SPEAKER: Is the motion seconded?

An honourable member: Yes, sir.

Motion carried.
