Suspension of Standing and Sessional Orders

Thursday, 6 November 2025 House of Representatives

Mr Tony Burke

Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the House

1:27 pm

I move:

That standing order 43 be suspended for this sitting.

That's so that we can continue with the bills. We'd be skipping members' statements, to give a reminder of where we're up to with time.

I'll put the question.

Before we go to the next item, I just ask that all members be reminded that if any staff are in the advisers box, they are there as guests in the House and no-one from any advisers box should ever be trying to participate in the parliament and certainly should never be in a situation where they are interjecting on anyone, especially against the Speaker.

Milton Dick

Milton Dick Speaker

The question is that the motion be agreed to.
