With the greatest respect, Deputy Speaker, you cannot guess—

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The member for Menzies is correct : I cannot guess. But, at the end of the day, the Notice Paper is correct. We can go through all this again and take another division if that is what you want, but the outcome will be the same.

An honourable member: You do not know that.

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: No, I do not know that. I am saying that we can go through this all again if you would like to place it again , but, for the convenience of the House, I will read from page 37 of the Notice Paper :

Contingent on any bill being agreed to at the conclusion of the consideration in detail stage: Minister to move—That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the motion for the third reading being moved without delay.

And that is what is before the chair. That is the question I have put and that is the vote that is being taken.

Mr Melham interjecting —

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order! The member for Banks should know better.
