worry about that! There will be a little red star over there when we come in in the morning. The supreme soviet of the ACT has finally arrived—the workers paradise is here—because what we are doing is nobbling an election of the Assembly. We are nobbling the election of a committee chair of the Assembly, and I believe we are violating standing order 225.

Question put:

That Mr Corbell’s amendment be agreed to.

The Assembly voted—

Ayes 8		Noes 7
Mr Barr	Mr Hargreaves	Mrs Burke	Mr Seselja
Mr Berry	Ms MacDonald	Mrs Dunne	Mr Smyth
Mr Corbell	Ms Porter	Dr Foskey	Mr Stefaniak
Mr Gentleman	Mr Stanhope	Mr Pratt

Question so resolved in the affirmative.

MR SMYTH (Brindabella—Leader of the Opposition) (4.22): I seek leave to move a further amendment to the motion. It is just procedural. The motion at paragraph 2 (c) says that nominations should be with the Speaker by 4.00 pm today. It is a simple amendment to change 4.00 pm to 5.00 pm today.

Leave granted.

MR SMYTH: I move:

Paragraph (2), omit “4 p.m.”, substitute “5 p.m.”.
