Second Reading
Debate resumed.
A division having been called and the bells being rung—
Chris Pearce Aston, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Financial Services, Superannuation and Corporate Law
Mr Speaker, I note that the Deputy Prime Minister is not with us and I wonder if you would consider extending the division so that she might be able to join us?
Harry Jenkins Speaker
I will deal with the member for Aston at the completion of this division. I am tempted to make the member for O’Connor’s day!
Question put.
Bill read a second time.
Harry Jenkins Speaker
The member for Aston is discharged from the House under standing order 94(a).
The member for Aston then left the chamber.
