~~Tony Burke~~
Before I move that the member's time be extended, I just want to draw your attention to page 529 of Practice where there is discretion for the chair, with respect to motions for the closure of a member's speech, to decide whether or not the resolution is being moved for the purposes of obstructing the House.
I specifically raise it because we're about to get to the point—6.30 pm—where, if closure is moved, a division cannot take place if it's moved by someone other than a minister. For that reason, it would be an abuse because the House would be incapable of considering the question during the course of the opportunity for a member to speak. I raise that now. I appreciate that issue is not in front of us, but if the current conduct continues it'll be in front of us in about 10 or 15 minutes and so I just wanted to draw that to the attention of the chair.
~~I move:~~
That Mr Rae be granted an extension of time.
~~Milton Dick~~
~~The question is that the motion moved by the Leader of the House be agreed to.~~
