Parliamentary Procedure

Sittings and Business

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (17:57): I have just informally spoken to the Leader of the Opposition. I think the majority's intention is to sit for that sitting week, so to assist I move:

That Orders of the Day: Private Business that were adjourned to Wednesday 8 December 2021 be adjourned to Wednesday 9 February 2022.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (17:59): I move to amend the motion as follows:

Delete 'Wednesday 9 February 2022' and insert 'Tuesday 8 February 2022'.

The Treasurer indicated in his last contribution that the government does not intend to do any government business whatsoever, so what the Treasurer by extension means is that on Tuesday 8 February there be question time and nothing else, which does not seem to make much sense. There are 140-odd private members' businesses still remaining on the Notice Paper. It would make much more sense, if the government does not want to do anything on the Tuesday, that private members be given an opportunity to do that, so I have moved that it be amended from 9 February to 8 February.

Amendment carried; motion as amended carried.


At 18:00 the council adjourned until Tuesday 8 February 2022 at 14:15.
