The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (22:25): I move:

That the council do now adjourn.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (22:25): I have an amendment. I move:

That the council at its rising adjourn until Thursday 10 February 2022 at 10am.

That will replace the Hon. Mr Lucas's motion.

The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Hunter, standing order 59:

A motion 'That the Council do now adjourn' may be made without notice at any time when no other Member is speaking or in possession of the House, and shall be moved and seconded without discussion and be immediately determined; but, if it be negatived, no such motion shall be again made within the next fifteen minutes, except by a Minister of the Crown.

This motion shall not be made or seconded during a debate by any Member who has already spoken in the debate, nor may the Mover of this Motion during the same debate either move it a second time or second it if moved by another Member; and similarly, a Seconder of this motion shall not subsequently move or again second it; but Members so moving or seconding shall not be held to have spoken in the debate.

My understanding is that there is a motion that has been moved by the Treasurer that the council do now adjourn.

The council divided on the motion of the Hon. R.I. Lucas:
