Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1999 Week 1 Hansard (17 February) . . Page.. 188 ..

MR BERRY (continuing):

we want to economise on the use of time in this place, it seems to me to be a perfectly sensible way to proceed. But even a murmur of opposition to the introduction of my later Bill will, of course, mean that it will not be introduced and we will deal with it later. I am quite content with that approach. I will leave my speech there for a moment and will speak further later.

Debate (on motion by Mr Humphries) adjourned.

MR BERRY (10.54): Mr Speaker, I seek leave to present the Dangerous Goods (Amendment) Bill 1999.

Mr Humphries: Not without notice!

MR SPEAKER: Is leave granted?

Mr Humphries: Not with no notice!

Ms Carnell: We have got rules on this! No, it is okay.

MR BERRY: I am happy not to do it.

Mr Osborne: This is a perfectly normal way to introduce - - -

MR SPEAKER: Order!

Mr Osborne: I understand that Mr Berry had problems with drafting. I fully understand that. I will be granting him leave. I am more than happy to do it.

MR SPEAKER: Mr Berry has the right to seek the suspension of standing and temporary orders.

Ms Carnell: He can go ahead.

Mr Moore: I think he does have leave.

MR BERRY: I thought I heard somebody say no.

Mr Humphries: You should get your ears checked, Mr Berry.

Mr Moore: Who was it?

MR BERRY: I am happy to do it next sitting.

MR SPEAKER: Could we all settle down. Is leave granted for Mr Berry to introduce the Bill?
