MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Doszpot.

Mr Corbell: Madam Speaker is not in a position, as she has indicated, to make a decision on that at this time. So the most appropriate course of action is to allow the question before the chair to proceed—that is, that the report be noted—committee members can speak on the matter, make whatever comments they wish to make on the matter, the debate can then be adjourned and Madam Speaker can make a decision as to whether or not she believes any further action should be taken.

Mr Coe: I would like to move that the tabling of the document by Mr Gentleman be adjourned until a later hour this day.

MADAM SPEAKER: The document has already been tabled.

MR COE (Ginninderra) (10.12): I move:

That the debate be adjourned.

MADAM SPEAKER: I now have two questions before me. I have to deal with this last one first. Could you just bear with me a moment. The Clerk has pointed out to me that the motion before the Assembly is that the report be noted, and the only logical motion that comes from that, in the standing orders, is that the debate be adjourned. You would need leave to move any other motion.

MR COE: As such, I have moved that the debate be adjourned until a time when you have reached a determination on the validity of this report.

Question put:

That the debate be adjourned.

The Assembly voted—

Question so resolved in the affirmative.

Ordered that the resumption of the debate be made an order of the day for the next sitting.
