by leave—I move:
That standing orders Nos 55 (Lack of quorum) and 133 (Deferred divisions on Mondays and Tuesdays) be suspended until the completion of consideration of the Aged Care (Living Longer Living Better) Bill 2013 and the four related bills.
I thank the House. This will enable debate on this legislation to conclude.
Question agreed to.

For the understanding of members, that motion means we will be having divisions after 6.30—
Mr Butler interjecting—
No, we will not. Just in case, I am being very technical with everybody. That is not something I can dictate. I am letting everybody know that, technically, that is what you all just agreed to. I do not want anybody to misunderstand what they have just agreed to.
