Parliamentary Procedure

Sittings and Business

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (23:07): This is very anticlimactic. The house needed to be sitting for us to deliver a message, according to a provision of the standing orders, so we have reconvened so that we can deliver the message to our esteemed colleagues in another place. Unless someone wants to whistle Dixie or wax lyrical about something, we can move to suspend until the ringing of the bells again.

Sitting suspended from 23:09 to 23:51.
