Parliamentary Procedure

Sittings and Business

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government) (11:30): I move:

That the time for Private Members Business, Bills, Notices of Motion, be extended for one hour.

The SPEAKER: It has been moved; is it seconded?

Mr PICTON: Point of order: the time for private members' business has already expired, as per the standing orders. The bell has rung, it is finished and we are now into the next section of debate. I believe the motion is out of order.

The SPEAKER: I do not uphold the point of order. Sessional order 2, introduced in February 2020, to which I refer members, provides for, unless otherwise ordered, private members' business of different kinds taking precedence at different times. The motion is in order and it has been seconded, so I put it at once.

The Hon. A. PICCOLO: Point of order, Mr Speaker.

The SPEAKER: The member for Light on a point of order.

The Hon. A. PICCOLO: Do we require a quorum for such a vote?

The SPEAKER: The motion has been seconded; I will put it at once.
