Mr Deputy Speaker, on a point of order: a distinguished predecessor of yours, the then member for Page, Mr Causley, ruled that there could only be two quorums called on any one speaker on the basis that insufficient time would have passed. I draw to your attention that, if you are to be consistent with Deputy Speaker Causley’s ruling—which was not objected to, I might say, by the opposition at the time—then this calling of the quorum traverses that ruling of Deputy Speaker Causley and you are setting a new precedent.
