Parliamentary Procedure

Chair's Ruling, Dissent

Mr TEAGUE (Heysen) (20:44): I move:

That the Chair's ruling be disagreed to.

I dissent from your ruling. I have not had this to hand, and so—

The CHAIR: You are moving a motion to dissent from my ruling?

Mr TEAGUE: Yes.

The CHAIR: That is fine; we will deal with that. Under standing order 136:

1. the Member makes known the objection at once, and puts it in writing—

you need to put your objection in writing—

2. and then the Chairman leaves the Chair and the House resumes,

3. and the matter is laid before the Speaker.

When the matter has been disposed of, the proceedings in Committee are resumed…

If you would like to put that in writing, we will report it to the house. Were you a doctor in a previous life? My attention has been drawn to the state of the house. Ring the bells, please.

A quorum having been formed:

The SPEAKER: The Deputy Speaker has reported that there has been some sort of objection to his ruling from the member for Heysen. I have chatted with the Deputy Speaker and I uphold his ruling. I just wonder whether maybe we can just get on with the proceedings now, unless anyone wants to keep this going all night. Is everyone happy to go back into committee? Is it the will of the house to go back into committee? Yes, alright, we will go back into committee.
