Ms Follett: Well, that changes everything!

MR HUMPHRIES: Sarcasm is the lowest form of humour, Chief Minister. The third amendment is in the first line of paragraph (a). I propose to put the word "approximating" rather than "itemising" following "a document". I hope that will please the Government a little.

MR SPEAKER: Is leave granted to amend the amendment?

Mr Moore: No.

MR HUMPHRIES: Mr Speaker, another amendment has been suggested to me by my colleague Mr Duby - - -

Mr Moore: Sorry; we have denied leave.

Leave not granted.

Suspension of Standing Orders

Motion (by Mr Humphries) proposed:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent Mr Humphries from amending the amendment.

Mr Whalan: Are we entitled to have these in writing, Mr Speaker?

MR SPEAKER: You certainly are. Mr Humphries, would you like to provide same in writing?

MR HUMPHRIES: Certainly, Mr Speaker.

MR SPEAKER: Time has been granted to allow that to occur.

MR HUMPHRIES: Having put this in writing, Mr Speaker, I might just indicate clearly to you what it is. The amendment proposed is:

(a) delete "also"; and

(b) omit "itemising each of", substitute  "approximating".

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Motion (by Mr Humphries) agreed to:

(a)   delete "also"; and

(b) omit "itemising each of", substitute  "approximating".

Amendments to amendment agreed to.

Amendment, as amended, agreed to.
