Business of the house

Orders of the day

Mr DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:23): Mr Rich-Phillips has begun the debate on the motion which is order of the day 2. I have had significant feedback from crossbench members in particular that they would prefer to vote on these proposals separately. With the indulgence of the chamber, I move, by leave:

That, contingent on the debate on order of the day 2 concluding, the motion be divided so that the proposals in paragraphs (1) and (2) are put to the house separately.

Ms Stitt: Could I just clarify what Mr Davis is proposing? You said, Mr Davis, that contingent on it concluding—

Mr DAVIS: Yes, it has not concluded yet, Minister.

Ms Stitt: It has not concluded today, so you do not really need to do this.

Mr DAVIS: It might just be helpful for people to be aware that they could look at it separately, rather than both parts together.

Motion agreed to.
