Parliamentary Procedure

Sittings and Business

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government) (16:54): May I indicate that I would like to bring forward to introduce bills that were returned to the house last night. I therefore formally move that item No. 51, which relates to the spit hoods prohibition bill, and that all items Nos 1 to 50 be postponed and heard after No. 51.

Mr BROWN: Point of order, Mr Acting Speaker: the Attorney seems to be referring to possible numbering of something under Government Business but it has yet to appear on the Notice Paper.

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: Yes. Well, the member may have heard me earlier. He is correct that I have referred to the wrong section. I moved a motion earlier, which was passed, that standing and sessional orders be suspended to enable the spit hoods prohibition bill and the hate crimes amendment bill as Orders of the Day and be taken into consideration as Orders of the Day, Government Business.

The ACTING SPEAKER (Mr Pederick): Member for Playford?

Mr BROWN: Sir, a point of clarification: the Attorney's motion moved the business from Private Members Business to Government Business, indeed, but it does not appear currently on the Notice Paper under Government Business.

The ACTING SPEAKER (Mr Pederick): That is correct. There is a difficulty in calling it on. I am just seeking advice from the Clerk. We are just getting clarity, members.

Mr BROWN: Sir, can I perhaps make a suggestion through the Chair? It might help the house and help the Attorney get out of her current muddle if she was to move a suspension of standing orders to enable that particular measure to come on immediately.

The ACTING SPEAKER (Mr Pederick): We are just seeking clarity on this first, member for Playford, so we are working through a process. I have some advice, Attorney, as to how we might deal with this. If you would like to move that we move Nos 1 to 27 until after Order of the Day No. 30, we might be able to deal with No. 28 while we are getting some more clarity.

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: Excellent. That would be a great idea. I move:

That Orders of the Day Nos 1 to 27 be postponed to be dealt with after Orders of the Day No. 30.

Motion carried.
