Members, my advice on this is that there is no point of order being raised by the Deputy Chief Minister. The sitting is suspended. The chair will be resumed at 2.30 pm.

Sitting suspended from 12.38 to 2.30 pm

MOTION TO SUSPEND SITTING

MR SPEAKER: Prior to the luncheon break I accepted a motion from Mr Moore that the sitting of the Assembly be suspended. I have considered the situation and I recognise now that Mr Moore should have sought leave to move a motion and that leave should have been granted by the Assembly before he actually moved it. I regret that the correct procedure was not followed. I intend that it not be a precedent.

MOTION TO SUSPEND STANDING ORDERS

MR SPEAKER: The motion to which the Assembly agreed earlier today was to suspend standing orders to allow Mr Collaery to speak. However, this motion does not suspend the temporary orders which the Assembly has adopted to allow question time to be called on at 2.30 pm and for the automatic adjournment to apply at 4.30 pm.

AUTHORITY TO RECORD, BROADCAST AND PHOTOGRAPH PROCEEDINGS

Motion (by Mr Whalan), by leave, agreed to:

That the Assembly authorises:

(1) the recording on videotape without sound by Australian Capital Television Pty Ltd of proceedings during question time on Thursday, 6 July 1989;

(2) the use by any television station of any part of the recorded proceedings in subsequent news, current affairs and documentary programs; and

(3) the taking of still photographs during question time on Thursday, 6 July 1989, and the use of such photographs in the print media generally.
