Mr Connolly: You got into trouble last time you started talking about your own Whip, Bernard. I would just be careful.
MR COLLAERY: Yes, there is no trouble now, I can assure you, Mr Connolly. The fact of the matter is that you have not sought in any way to compromise on this matter. You are not prepared to await that opinion. And you, Mr Connolly, above all, should know full well that, from an ethical and a legal point of view, it is quite proper for us now to seek that further opinion.
The fact that the Assembly's committee has decided to seek an opinion from the Federal Attorney-General is their business. It is the duty and function of our Government to know exactly what our advice should be to this Assembly and, as first law officer, I am seeking that advice.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
POSTPONEMENT OF ORDER OF THE DAY AND NOTICES
MR BERRY (11.31): I seek leave to reorder the agenda for private members' business so that notices Nos. 1, 3, 4, 5 and 7 can be considered forthwith in a cognate debate.
MR SPEAKER: Mr Berry, I draw your attention to order of the day No. 5. Do you want to include that as well?
MR BERRY: No, notices.
MR SPEAKER: Do you wish to withdraw or postpone order of the day No. 5?
MR BERRY: I move:
That order of the day No. 5 be postponed.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
MR BERRY: I move:
That the order of debate now be notices Nos. 1, 3, 4, 5 and 7, and that they be considered in a cognate debate.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
MR SPEAKER: Before we go further, I am looking to find out whether you want to postpone notice No. 2.
Ms Follett: Yes.
MR BERRY: That has been adjourned.
MR SPEAKER: Do you move that that be postponed?
