by leave—I move:

That the time and arrangements for the sitting tomorrow, Tuesday, 27 November 2012, be as follows:

(1) The House, at its rising, adjourn until tomorrow at 11 a.m.;

(2) during the period from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. any division on a question called for in the House, other than on a motion moved by a Minister during this period, shall stand deferred until the conclusion of the discussion of a matter of public importance;

(3) during the period from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. if any member draws the attention of the Speaker to the state of the House, the Speaker shall announce that she will count the House at the conclusion of the discussion of a matter of public importance, if the Member then so desires; and

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

I thank the Manager of Opposition Business. Both of us are committed to doing what we can to ensure that people can leave the parliament at the end of this week in an orderly fashion—hence the arrangements tomorrow. I thank the opposition for their cooperation.

Question agreed to.
