Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for the Arts) Share this | Hansard source

Mr Deputy Speaker, in terms of the ruling that you make, I simply put that it's either both or neither. Either only a minister can move the adjournment and anything that would interrupt the bill—in which case it locks you out and it locks me out—or, if you are now in a position to propose, as the Leader of the House has invited you to, that the House do now adjourn, it is, therefore, open to me for the remainder of the debate to move any adjournment motion, any procedural motion or any suspension motion relevant to the bill in front of us.
