Christopher Pyne Sturt, Liberal Party, Leader of the House
I move:
That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the motion for the third reading being moved without delay.

No, members on my right will cease interjecting. The Manager of Opposition Business.
Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance
Given that no-one was speaking and no-one had the call at the time that the Leader of the House moved that motion, I simply ask your advice as to who it is who will no longer be heard if that motion is carried.
Tony Smith Speaker
The Manager of Opposition Business is right: no-one had the call. I call the Leader of the House.
Christopher Pyne Sturt, Liberal Party, Leader of the House
I move:
That the motion be put.
Tony Smith Speaker
The question now is that this bill be read a third time.
Question agreed to.
Bill read a third time.
