10:03 am
by leave—I move:
That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the following items of private members’ business, being reported from the Main Committee, or called on, and considered immediately in the following order:Home Insulation Program—Report from Main Committee; andEnvironment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (Public Health and Safety) Amendment Bill 2010—Order of the day No. 9.
I advise the House that the motion by the member for Mayo regarding a detention facility at Inverbrackie will not be brought forward for a vote, at the member’s request. I spoke earlier today with the member for Mayo. He was preparing with his wife to visit the hospital for the birth of his child. On behalf of the House, I wish him and his wife all the best on what will be a very momentous occasion.
