I move:

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended to enable proceedings as specified below to occur during government business on Monday 19 June 2006:

(1)

in relation to proceedings on the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Amendment Bill 2006—at the conclusion of the second reading debate, not including a Minister speaking in reply, or at 8.30p.m., whichever is the earlier, a Minister to be called to sum up (for a period not exceeding 5 minutes) the second reading debate and thereafter, without delay, the immediate question before the House to be put, then any question or questions necessary to complete the remaining stages of the bill to be put without amendment or debate and any Government amendments that have been circulated for at least two hours shall be treated as if they have been moved together; and

(2)

any variation to this arrangement to be made only by a motion moved by a Minister.

This is an outrage of process. This bill should be withdrawn and—
