APPROPRIATION BILL

Second Reading

Second reading debate resumed.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Treasurer, Minister for Employment, Training and Further Education) (23:57): I thank members for their contribution to the second reading debate of the budget bill.

Bill read a second time.

The Hon. I.F. EVANS: Point of order, Madam Speaker: I understand that the Minister for Families and Communities took a photo which is out of standing orders. I ask that the attendants collect and destroy the photo.

The SPEAKER: I did not see that, but I will talk to the Minister for Families and Communities afterwards. The Treasurer.

Estimates Committees

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Treasurer, Minister for Employment, Training and Further Education) (23:57): I move:

That this bill be referred to estimates committees.

Motion carried.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Treasurer, Minister for Employment, Training and Further Education) (23:58): By leave, I move:

That a message be sent to the Legislative Council requesting that all honourable members of the Legislative Council holding commissions as ministers during the period for the examination of estimates be permitted to attend and give evidence before the estimates committees of the House of Assembly on the Appropriation Bill.

Motion carried.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Treasurer, Minister for Employment, Training and Further Education) (23:58): I move:

That the house note grievances.

Mrs GERAGHTY (Torrens) (23:58): I would just like to make the point that I am extremely disappointed that I had a discussion with the Opposition Whip just prior to calling for the suspension of the house, and the opposition, as far as he advised me, agreed to go beyond 12 o'clock so that we could continue the grievance debate. Sadly, they all disappeared and I presume they have gone home. Unfortunately I guess that means we will be staying after six tomorrow evening to finish the grievance debate. We did try to accommodate them. They agreed and failed to keep their part of the agreement.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Minister, do you seek to adjourn the debate?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: No; I was just seeking your clarification, Madam Speaker. I understand that it is improper to take photographs of members in this chamber. Is it improper to take a photograph of empty seats?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Any photographs taken in this chamber need the permission of the Speaker.

Debate adjourned on motion of Hon. J.J. Snelling.


At 00:00 the house adjourned to Thursday 23 June 2011 at 10:30.
