Mr Deputy Speaker, I appreciate you are in an invidious position; however, there was an accommodation offered by the government and the opposition accepted that and respectfully requests that the division be called off. It is to facilitate the business of the House and the good conduct of the House, not a reflection on you. These things do occur from time to time. I apologise.
