[Sitting date: 29 May 2012. Volume:680;Page:2654. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.] 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: The question is that the question be now put 
. 
 Those of that opinion will say Aye— 
Hon Clayton Cosgrove 
: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I know you are in the process of calling the vote but I will just call your attention to my colleague who has been seeking a call and has not had a call on this at all. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: No. I am the judge of the number of calls and we have been going for well over an hour and a quarter— 
Hon Damien O’Connor 
: Point of order Mr Chairman. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: I am ruling. We have been going for well over an hour and a quarter and I am accepting the closure motion. 
Hon Damien O’Connor 
: Point of order Mr Chairman.  
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: No. I am accepting the closure motion. The question is that the question be now put. Those of that opinion will say Aye— 
Hon Clayton Cosgrove 
: Point of order. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: You are trifling with the Chair. I have already ruled that I am accepting the closure motion. 
Hon Clayton Cosgrove 
: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. With respect I am not challenging that. You have to accept a point of order and you can rule it out once you have heard it. Can I say this to you. You are correct: we have had an hour or whatever you specified. However you will also be aware that an arrangement was put in place between the parties— 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: That is not a point of order. Listen there have been 14 calls for the Opposition and four for the Government. In terms of relevance I have listened very closely. I have ruled accordingly well over the hour and a quarter as to relevance and it is time for the closure motion. 
Hon Damien O’Connor 
: Point of order Mr Chairperson. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: No I am not accepting it again. The member will sit. 
Hon Damien O’Connor 
: Point of order Mr Chairperson. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: If you are trifling with the Chair it will be the matter—I call the Hon Damien O’Connor. 
Hon Damien O’Connor 
: I raise a point of order Chairperson. I have not had a call on this and— 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: I know you have not had— 
Hon Damien O’Connor 
: —the point is that— 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: Sit down. Sit down. You have not had a call; I know that. But then you have not been here the whole time either and there have been plenty of opportunities to take a call. I have looked around at who has got up to take a call. That is the end of the matter. 
Hon Members 
: Point of order Mr Chairman. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: If you trifle with the Chair I will ask you to leave the Chamber. One more. 
Hon Clayton Cosgrove 
: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I am not trifling with the Chair but there is a point that I ask you to reflect on. Mr O’Connor has been in the Chamber for a considerable period of time. All members have been enthusiastic on this side to take calls— 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: I thank the member for those comments. I have ruled. I have given the Opposition 14 calls. We have been going for well over an hour and a quarter and I am accepting the closure motion.
