I move:
That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the motion for the third reading being moved without delay.
Tony Smith Speaker
The Manager of Opposition Business, on a point of order?
Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for the Arts
This is a government of double standards. It's a born-to-rule government of double standards.
Tony Smith Speaker
The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat.
Christian Porter Pearce, Liberal Party, Attorney-General
I move:
That the question be put.
Tony Smith Speaker
The question is the motion moved by the Leader of the House be agreed to.
Tony Smith Speaker
1:15 pm
The question now is that the motion moved by the minister be agreed to. The Manager of Opposition Business?
Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for the Arts
This is unprecedented—
Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for the Arts
I know, but you gave me the call, so I gave it a go. We don't get many chances here anymore.
Tony Smith Speaker
You'd better resume your seat. The question is that the motion moved by the Leader of the House be agreed to.
Christian Porter Pearce, Liberal Party, Attorney-General
1:17 pm
I move:
That this bill be now read a third time.
Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for the Arts
You would have thought members of parliament were allowed to make speeches. It's not that outrageous.
Christian Porter Pearce, Liberal Party, Attorney-General
1:18 pm
I move:
That the question be now put.
