BUSINESS › Suspension of Standing and Sessional Orders
Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Leader of the House and Minister for Infrastructure and Transport) (13:31): by leave—I move: That unless otherwise ordered, so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent Question Time commencing immediately and being followed by: (1) presentation of documents; (2) the discussion of a matter of public importance; (3) ministerial statements; and (4) government business until 9:30 p.m. I indicate that I understand that there may well also be a suspension of parliament for a short period of time at an appropriate time! Question agreed to.
