SITTINGS AND BUSINESS

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Public Sector Management, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for Gambling) (15:33): I move:

That Orders of the Day: Government Business Nos 1 to 7 inclusive be adjourned until the next day of sitting and that Orders of the Day: Government Business Nos 7, 8 and 9 be considered after Orders of the Day: Government Business No. 10.

The PRESIDENT: I think the minister said—

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: I rise on a point of order. The minister moved that 1 to 7 be—I think she has got it wrong again. It is probably meant to be 1 to 6, I think.

The Hon. G.E. GAGO: I thank the honourable member for drawing my error to my attention.

The Hon. R.I. Lucas: Thank God we're helping you. You can't do it yourself.

The Hon. G.E. GAGO: Oh to be so perfect as the Hon. Robert Lucas, failed former treasurer!

The Hon. R.I. Lucas interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. G.E. GAGO: Failed former treasurer, who was never able to bring one budget into surplus.

The Hon. R.I. Lucas interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order, the Hon. Mr Lucas! Either sit in your place or leave the chamber.

The Hon. G.E. GAGO: Not one budget: all deficit budgets. I wish I could be as perfect as the former failed treasurer. But anyway, I do thank him: at least he knows the figure 7. I move:

That Orders of the Day: Government Business Nos 1 through to 6 inclusive be adjourned until the next day of sitting and that Orders of the Day: Government Business Nos 7, 8 and 9 be considered after Orders of the Day: Government Business No. 10.

Motion carried.
