by leave—I move:

That standing order 43 be suspended until the conclusion of the speech on the Address in Reply by the Member for Calare.

I will inform the House what that means. Rather than having 90-second statements beginning at 1.30 pm, if the member for Calare is speaking in his maiden speech he will not be interrupted. When he completes, 90-second statements will begin.

Question agreed to.

I thank the Leader of the House and the Manager of Opposition Business for facilitating first speeches for the new members.
