Points of Order — Leave for Introduction and First Reading—Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Extended licensing hours during Rugby World Cup) Bill
I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. I seek leave to introduce a member’s bill, in my name, on extending the licensing hours for the sale and supply of alcohol for the duration of Rugby World Cup 2015, to be set down for first reading tomorrow as members’ order of the day No. 1. To allow the legislation to commence prior to the start of the Rugby World Cup, I also seek leave for the bill, following its first reading, to be referred to the Justice and Electoral Committee for 2 weeks and for the bill, once it is reported back, to be given its second and third readings forthwith on the following members’ day, 26 August 2015.
💬 Ron Mark: Point of order—
💬 Mr SPEAKER: Is it to do with this?
💬 Ron Mark: Yes.
💬 Mr SPEAKER: Then I will hear the point of order from Ron Mark.
I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. Could we ask that the member consider putting this proposal forward tomorrow?
No, the member is seeking leave. The member Ron Mark knows what to do. Leave is sought for that purpose. Is there any objection? There is. [Interruption] Order! There is objection.
