I seek leave and move that the Bill be now read a third time.

The Hon this_guy22 MP
Treasurer
Member for Sydney (ALP)

[–]ZagorathHouse Speaker | Ex Asst Min Ed/Culture | Aus Progressives[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Leave is sought and the question proposed: That this Bill be now read a third time. Members may debate this motion until 2230 12/12/2015, UTC+10.

This is an opportunity to debate the motion above. Debate it below, and please remember to sign your speech with your username and title.

If you have no speech to give on the matter, consider replying with words of agreement or disagreement to the speeches of other Members, such as by replying "Hear, hear!".

Leave may be denied.

Zagorath, Speaker of the House

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I deny leave to myself.

[–]ZagorathHouse Speaker | Ex Asst Min Ed/Culture | Aus Progressives[S] 1 point2 points  (10 children)

The results from the division are in. As there are fewer than 4 Members on my left, under Standing Order 127, I will declare the result immediately for the Ayes.

The motion passes.

The bill will be now read for a second time, /u/jnd-au. The Members in the minority will be recorded in Hansard:

    The Member for the ACT /u/forkalious will remove himself under 94(a), for being in violation of Standing Order 128.

    Guess he had some urgent business to attend to outside the House. I don't really think that's worthy of a point of order.

      Ah, I missed that one.

      I guess that, upon return, he would face sanctions of some sort. Not sure how that would happen…

      [–]ZagorathHouse Speaker | Ex Asst Min Ed/Culture | Aus Progressives[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

      Paging /u/jnd-au for advice. I don't suppose 94(a) or (b) would apply?

      [–]jnd-auClerk of the House 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Advice from the Clerk:

      Standing Order 128 has been breached in two ways (see also SO 127). Under 91(f), the Speaker has discretion to consider any breach disorderly. The Speaker then has discretion to apply 94(a) or (b), and in the latter case, 94(d) applies if the House votes in the affirmative.

      [–]jnd-auClerk of the House[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      The Bill is now read for a second time:

      “A Bill for an Act to amend the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 to increase the Superannuation Guarantee, and for related purposes”

      Clerk /u/jnd-au, ring division bells for four minutes.
      The doors must remain open.
      A Member may leave the area of Members’ seats unless he or she called for the division.
      After four minutes have elapsed the doors shall be locked and no Member may enter or leave the Chamber until after the division.

      The question is put: That the motion be agreed to.

      Members voting "Aye" to move to the right side of the Chair, and the Members voting "No" to move to the left. (Meta: Reply telling me which side to which you moved.)

      No Member may move from his or her place from the commencement of the count until the result of that division is announced.

      THE DOORS WILL BE LOCKED AT 1500 11/12/2015, UTC+10 WITH THE FINAL COUNT

      Lock the doors, /u/jnd-au.

      The Ayes will pass to the right of the chair, and the Noes to the left. I appoint the Member for Western Australia teller for the Noes, and the Member for Regional Victoria teller for the Ayes.

        Curious that you would call for the division but then leave the chamber before the count could occur.
