Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Given that the Prime Minister is not with us at the moment, I am wondering if you would consider extending the division so the Prime Minister might be able to join us.

The member for Aston knows that that is not a point of order, and if it were not so late in the day I would probably deal with it.

Bill read a third time.
