Motion thus carried; order of the day postponed.

The SPEAKER: Before I call on the next item, during the last sitting week, on the Wednesday morning, I asked whether the whips and maybe the leaders of business could get together and work out whether some of these motions could be taken en bloc rather than us all sitting here for an hour at a time with the constant ringing of the bells. Given the constant ringing of the bells again this Wednesday, I take it that nothing has happened?

An honourable member interjecting:

The SPEAKER: If we are doing one after the other, can we maybe bring them together?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: No, it is a very good use of everyone's time to be in here.

The Hon. D.G. PISONI: By indulgence, we are very happy to debate them at any time.

The SPEAKER: That is not the question.

The Hon. D.G. PISONI: That is the solution—

The SPEAKER: The question was whether there was any sensible way we could move them en bloc and come back.

The Hon. D.G. PISONI: —debating them and having a vote on them.

The SPEAKER: You have had your say, member for Unley.
