In division—

The SPEAKER —I understand a point of order was raised about the timing of the division. It is clear that the practice of the House has been, where a member has been on his or her feet making a speech, that the member has completed their speech and then the division has been called. I would hope that that is the practice that we will continue—

Mr Pyne —Nobody knew!

The SPEAKER —Yet again the member for Sturt—I am not sure whether he is talking to his neighbours—

Honourable members interjecting—

The SPEAKER —But he does it in a way that I can hear—and, because of the special relationship that he was seeking from me, I listen to him. When he said that nobody knew, I assumed that he meant that nobody had read Practice. But that is okay; I accept that he was talking about something else.

Honourable members interjecting—

The SPEAKER —I am supporting the member of the Speaker’s panel, who appears to be lacking in confidence and requiring that support.

Honourable members interjecting—

The SPEAKER —The member of the Speaker’s panel was only doing what he thought was correct. I understand that the House resolved it in a way that was accommodating to all. That should be acknowledged.

Bill agreed to.
