Points of Order — Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Rugby World Cup 2015 Extended Trading Hours) Bill—Votes
I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker.
The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Trevor Mallard): Well, the member had better not be trifling with the Chair in order to take the time out, because if he is, he will be treated as being disorderly and punished for it.
I have a new point of order, Mr Speaker. Earlier in the evening I raised the question about split voting and also the question about the timeliness within which the names of which members who split voted should be provided to the Chair.
Order! The member will resume his seat. That matter has been dealt with adequately. I call on members’ order—
I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. I did not even get an opportunity to advise you what my point of order—
And the point that I made to you—please resume your seat—was the matter was dealt with immediately that the junior whip could get down to the House and deal with it. I ruled at the time that the junior whip had not acted in accordance with the Standing Orders. There is not a point of order that is available now. I have called on members’ order of the day No. 3. If the member interrupts me again, then the member is in very serious trouble.
