House debates Motions

Consideration of Legislation

Wednesday, 5 December 2018 House of Representatives

Mr Speaker, I would put it to you that the suspension of standing orders we have just passed is too similar to the suspension of standing orders being moved by the member for Port Adelaide to be considered given that the amendment moved by the member for McMahon was in exactly the same terms as the suspension of standing orders motion and we just voted to suspend standing orders to do exactly what the government intended and the Clerk was about to read the title of the bill to begin the second reading debate. That suspension of standing orders is very similar to the one we voted on about 15 minutes ago.
