Milton Dick (Speaker) | Hansard source

It has always been the convention, and the way the standing orders work, that someone, when they move a suspension, gives their speech—they don't sit down—and the seconder then stands and gives their speech. This has not happened before in this way. I think the Leader of the Opposition was just intending to get the debate going; I understand where he's coming from. Under the standing orders now, the call does go to the other side, once it's been moved and seconded. There are provisions of the House to deal with this after question time under the standing orders.
