Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2001 Week 8 Hansard (9 August) . . Page.. 2837 ..
MR MOORE (continuing):
onger a simple matter of just being able to vote Ms Tucker's motion down. We have to go through a process, and that is what I want to talk about. The process, as I understand it-I need to have it verified-is that you put the original motion for the adjournment. If the adjournment is agreed to we then deal with Ms Tucker's motion, and I am now foreshadowing an amendment.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: That is correct, Mr Moore.
MR MOORE: There is a process.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: I put the question:
That the debate be adjourned.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: The question now, and I will read it in full, is:
That the resumption of the debate be made an order of the day for the third sitting day following the presentation to the Assembly of a report by the Attorney-General on consultation he has undertaken on the bill with stakeholders in the domestic violence sector, including (a) the Domestic Violence Prevention Council; (b) the Domestic Violence Crisis Service; and (c) the Women's Legal Centre, regarding (i) possible impacts of the legislation on victims of domestic violence, (ii) the bill's consistency with model domestic violence laws, and (iii) any proposals in relation to the legislation.
MR MOORE (Minister for Health, Housing and Community Services) (3.03 am): Mr Speaker, I move the following amendment circulated in my name:
Omit all words after "day" and substitute the words "for the next day of sitting.".
Question put:
That Mr Moore's amendment be agreed to.
