Rights for Victims of Insane Offenders Bill

Point of order. I move, That the order of the day for the committee stage of the Rights for Victims of Insane Offenders Bill be discharged, and that the bill be referred to the Justice Committee in order to consider the Chief Justice’s advice on the bill.

💬 Hon Louise Upston: Shame on you.

💬 SPEAKER: Order! The member has been here for some years. The comments that she just made were out of order in at least two respects, and it is my expectation that now she is a front-bench member, a senior member, that she shows some leadership around the parliamentary system.

The question is that the motion be agreed to. Those of that opinion will say Aye, the contrary opinion will say No. The Ayes have it. Did somebody call a party vote? A party vote is called for. The Clerk will conduct a party vote.

💬 Hon Louise Upston: Disgraceful.

💬 SPEAKER: Order! Order! Louise Upston will leave the Chamber.

💬 Hon Louise Upston: You guys will pay for this.

💬 SPEAKER: Order!

💬 Hon Louise Upston: I’m leaving.

💬 SPEAKER: No, the member is now going to withdraw and—come back, withdraw, and apologise. No, come back, withdraw and apologise.

💬 Hon Louise Upston: I withdraw and apologise.

Hon Louise Upston withdrew from the Chamber.
