The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (23:52): I move:

That the council at its rising do adjourn to Tuesday 12 May 2020.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (23:52): I move an amendment to the motion:

To leave out '12 May' and insert '28 April'.

That is the next scheduled sitting week after the completion of this week.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Maher has moved an amendment to leave out '12 May 2020' and insert '28 April 2020'. I put the question that the words proposed to be struck out stand part of the question. The government will vote aye, the opposition will vote no. I remind members that if it comes to a division we are not going to move around the chamber. We have agreed that the ayes will stand in their place and the noes will remain seated.
