by leave—I move:

That standing order 31 (automatic adjournment of the House) and standing order 33 (limit on business after normal time of adjournment) be suspended for this sitting.

I thank the opposition and all members for their cooperation on this matter. This evening there will not be an adjournment debate. We will allow extra additional speakers on the temporary flood levy legislation to take us up to eight o’clock. The House will be adjourned when the speaker on their feet at eight o’clock concludes. There is an agreement with the opposition that during that time there will be no divisions called. This is to make sure that we can deal with this legislation tomorrow so that people are not inconvenienced by arrangements that have to be made to depart Canberra.

Question agreed to.
