Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 5 Hansard (10 May) . . Page.. 1416 ..

MR HUMPHRIES: Not the minister's or the government's business to be adjourning business on private members day. The government adjourns business every day, under the terms of the standing orders, and has done so for 11 years.
