Tony Smith (Speaker) Share this | Hansard source

I am required to exercise my casting vote according to the principles, which we've done a few times, and one of those principles is that the Speaker should vote to allow further discussion where this is possible. So my vote is with the noes. I know that a member was on their feet seeking the call when the Manager of Opposition Business put the procedural motion. The question is that the amendment be agreed to, and the member for Hinkler has the call.
