I ask leave of the House to move a motion to suspend standing order 43 until the conclusion of the speech on the address-in-reply by the member for Fairfax, which will mean that the member for Boothby and the member for Fairfax will be able to give their maiden speeches despite the 1.30 pm 90-second statements cut-off. They will be able to complete them, and then we will go back to 90-second statements.

Leave granted.

We are all getting along so well, Mr Speaker. I move:

That standing order 43 be suspended until the conclusion of the speech on the address-in-reply by the member for Fairfax.

Question agreed to.
