“I do not think so. Division required.” Now please resume your seat, and if you do not like it—
Mrs Dunne: I think that your comments were actually inappropriate for someone occupying the chair.
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Mrs Dunne, I think that you ought to resume your seat and we will get on with it.
Mr Corbell: Mr Assistant Speaker, quite clearly Mrs Dunne has no sense of humour.
Mrs Dunne: It is not a matter of having a sense of humour—that from the most humourless man in this place.
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Mrs Dunne, this is the last time.
Mr Hanson: Simon, you’re the most humourless—
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Mr Hanson, it is not such that we can have a conversation across the chamber while the division is on, please. Please do not push me around.
Mr Barr: Didn’t you try to get a feed during the dinner break, Vicki? What’s going on—blood sugar levels dropping, what’s going on?
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Mr Barr, please restrain yourself.
Mr Barr: It is difficult.
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: I know it is difficult, but please do the best you can—and Mr Hanson, one more and I will have to warn you.
There is a pairing in operation, Mr Coe and Ms Burch and also Ms Porter and Mr Doszpot, as I understand it.
Mr Hanson: I just noticed that the Chief Minister is doing the crossword. He might like to share any clues—
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Mr Hanson, please resume your seat. One more of those and I will not warn you, Mr Hanson; I will name you.
Mr Hanson: Cannot be helped.
MR ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Yes, well, you may have a sense of humour, but it is not shared at the moment.
Question put:
That Ms Hunter’s amendment be agreed to.
