The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Rick Barker): Leave is sought to table that document. Is there any objection? There is not.
Document, by leave, laid on the Table of the House.
Time unknown
I seek leave to table a list of urgency motions under the Labour Government where the bills were only released to the Opposition at a quarter to midnight on the night before the bills were to be debated. This is the list here. It is actually a blank piece of paper; it never happened.
Time unknown
Leave is sought to table that document. Is there any objection to that? There is objection.
