Business of the House
I seek leave for there to be a question time at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, 28 October, and for questions to be lodged in the normal manner pursuant to Standing Order 372.
π¬ Mr DEPUTY SPEAKER: Is there any objection to that course of action being followed? There is none. Before I ask the Clerk of the House to read out the next Government order of the day, I require the assistance of a Temporary Speaker. I have asked the Hon Darren Hughes to fill that role.
I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. I was wondering whether, in the brief interregnum that you are in the Chair, Mr Temporary Speaker, there was any particular ruling you would require us to require of you in order for you to be recorded in Hansard as having made a ruling. Regardless of what that ruling might be, I think we would be prepared to support you in that. I supposeβ
The TEMPORARY SPEAKER (Hon DARREN HUGHES): I ask the honourable Minister to resume his seat. That is not a point of order. If he continues to trifle with the Chair, there will be serious consequences for him.
