In accordance with standing order 133, I shall now proceed to put the question on the motion that the member for Cowper be suspended from the service of the House, on which a division was called for and deferred in accordance with the standing order. No further debate is allowed.

Mr Speaker, on indulgence, in deference to you: the member is effectively serving a 48-hour penalty under a 24-hour provision. It indicates what a farce that Friday was.

Question put:

That the member for Cowper be suspended from the service of the House.

Harry Jenkins (Speaker) | Link to this | Hansard source

The question having been resolved in the affirmative, the member for Cowper is therefore suspended from the service of the House for 24 hours under standing order 94(d).
